The classes are aimed at the assimilation of technical elements with a biomechanical approach, focusing on the development of appropriate mechanics based on muscle chains and joint release. Knowledge of the objectives of the class sequences with a methodology broken down into the steps, theoretical and practical, will allow a more conscious execution in the long term, preventing short-term injuries. The importance of identifying body strengths and weaknesses individually, to program an exercise plan and overcome technical challenges in the development of a ballet class. Coordination, agility, resistance, stability, flexibility and proprioception will be objectives within reach during classes!
Commitment and dedication will be our allies 🤗
There is always time to start with your dreams and goals, whether you are just starting out, you have been training for a while and you want to give your work a twist to the codes of classical dance from a more organic perspective or dance has simply been part of your life and you like to be active based on the psycho-physical benefits of this discipline.
Together we can share the process of training from a different consciousness, attending to the body as a whole.😁

As a John Cranko School graduate, I teach classical ballet through the Vaganova method, combining a strong technical foundation with an attentive and individual approach to each dancer.

My classes focus on building clean, powerful technique while developing body awareness, safe movement and a deeper understanding of how your body works. I pay close attention to alignment, muscle engagement, coordination and the details that can make your dancing feel stronger, freer and more effortless.

Beyond technique, in my classes you will be able to understand better what mindset helps you in dancing as well as your artistic side of dancing — musicality, expression, confidence, presence and the feeling behind each movement. I share practical tips, imagery and different mental approaches that can help when a step isn't working, a movement feels difficult, or you simply want to discover a new way of approaching it.

I believe that the most interesting dancers are the ones who develop their own qualities. Through individual corrections and guidance, I help you recognize what makes your movement special and learn how to use it with intention.

Apart from ballet classes I also offer pilates and stretching sessions as well as functional trainings for joint health. As much as my experience helped me evolve in those spheres as well, I myself put an extra effort towards learning and understanding the body far above just excecuting technical movements.

Come as you are, bring your goals and curiosity, and let's discover how much more your dancing can become

In this class, ballet is more than getting the positions right. We look at how the movement works, what makes it light, grounded, fast or soft, and how you can find that in your own body.

I'm interested in what each dancer can discover: how to use your body intelligently, where movement starts, and how small details change the whole feeling of a step. Technique matters, but it's a tool to explore with, not a set of rules to fear.

I also look at the many styles within ballet, from classical to neoclassical to more contemporary approaches. That way you get to know ballet as something with many faces, and you can stay curious about it.
