About Me

I am characterized by patience and flexibility, combined with many years of experience in body education, plus a deep knowledge of the technique and theory of Bharatanatyam (South Indian Dance) that characterizes the students of Kalakshetra. I value the responsibility that a teacher assumes towards the student, and out of respect and admiration for my own teacher, I follow the same rules. I see dance as a way to find our sensibilities and be able to externalize them; observe its beauty and delve into its depth.550

📌It doesn't always take two for things to work...
To begin to connect, assimilate and experiment with new KNOWLEDGE, the most IMPORTANT thing is the body, the attitude, perseverance and a great pinch of confidence!
I always like to approach the codes of different dance disciplines, based on structures that work on the physical, rhythmic, and creative aspects.
There is an idea that Tango is difficult to learn, and of course if we approach it with that label, it will be that way. Starting from the main concept of tango, WALKING, something that we all do most of the time, dancing tTANGO is within everyone's reach.🤗
Another very important point is the way to assimilate and understand it 😉😅
❤️‍🔥What will the classes be like, you ask?
I'll tell you a little bit, we are going to develop the structure in the work of weight changes, the step, projection of the walk, the pivot, understanding the kinesphere individually and as a couple translated into the hug, the turns and the spiral torso to understand the momentum in various exercises, the eights so famous in tango, the basic step and universal exit, walks with the concept of lanes and much more from various sequences that familiarize you with the technical needs to be able to perform the steps without leaving aside the dynamics, pulse, accent and compas of the tango. Everything will be raised in the background in a more organic way. It's not just about learning individual steps, and then...what do we do 🧐? It is not the form that should take the leading role, but the way in which you express that form.
We will also let your creative and playful side be part of the process, through a tool that I consider very valuable, which is improvisation 👌 since it allows you to find your own style and recognize your strengths and weaknesses to continue growing in your passion for dance.
With all these tools, entering the world of more complex sequences and why not, creating your own, will be one more step and not an impossible challenge to achieve.🤩
Don't forget that the steps that are known today and a large part of the sequences emerged from a restless and creative mind, which explored synonymous with IMPROVISE❗️
Let's go through the process together and hold each other in a hug.

I offer adapted dance classes for people with limited mobility and wheelchair users — online or at home. Indian dance Bollywood makes extensive use of hand gestures, eye and head movements, and torso expressions (there’s even a separate genre called gesture dance), which makes it perfectly suited for learners of all physical abilities.

In class, we also use accessories such as candles and scarves. Dance brings vibrant emotions, energy, physical activity, and connection with a confident instructor. It’s a joyful way to spend your time, moving to world-famous Bollywood hits!

Class Description:
Welcome to a journey into two beautiful South Indian classical art forms — Carnatic Vocal Music and Bharatanatyam! Children are welcome to choose either discipline based on their interest, or explore both.

Carnatic Vocal Music: Students will learn the foundations of this classical singing tradition, starting with sarali varisas, janta varisas, alankarams, and gradually progressing to geethams, varnams, and keerthanas. Lessons focus on voice culture, raga identification, tala (rhythm) awareness, and pronunciation of Sanskrit/Tamil/Telugu lyrics, building a strong foundation for confident, expressive singing.

Bharatanatyam: Students will be introduced to the fundamentals of this classical dance form, including adavus (basic steps), postures, hand gestures (mudras), facial expressions (abhinaya), and rhythm coordination. As they progress, they will learn small items such as alarippu, jatiswaram, and simple padams/keertanams, developing grace, discipline, and stage confidence.

Classes are tailored to each child's age and pace, with a nurturing approach that builds both technical skill and a genuine love for Indian classical arts. No prior experience is necessary — just enthusiasm to learn!

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Performing Arts Education in Dance, specializing in Classical Dance, and I have professional experience as a dancer, choreographer, and teacher of classical ballet, modern, and contemporary dance.

In class, we will work progressively on ballet technique, posture/alignment, coordination, musicality, flexibility, and artistic expression, always in a welcoming environment tailored to every student. These classes are designed both for those looking to start ballet from scratch and for students who want to refine their technique and continue growing as dancers.

My goal is for every student to enjoy the learning process, build confidence, and make safe, steady progress.
