About Me
As long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by human behaviour and movement. As a child I danced, did gymnastics, played soccer and many other sports. Dance stayed with me.

I studied dance for 10 years, starting with classical ballet at the Royal Balletschool of Antwerp, and then changing to contemporary dance The! Kunsthumaniora of Contemporary in Dance and later on focusing on choreography at ArtEZ School of the Arts in the Netherlands.

In 2021, one year after graduating and starting to work as a dancer and choreographer internationally, I decided to change my career path. I felt lost and was in need to reconnect with myself as a human being.

Since then, I have been working as a freelance dance and movement teacher in Rotterdam. I give classes to children from 2 years old up to people of 100 years old within organizations such as the Stichting Kunstzinnige Vormgeving Rotterdam.

My mission is to reconnect people with themselves, each other and nature through movement and dance.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

The last two years I worked next to school as a Fitness Coach in one of the biggest Gym in German the ''Fitnessland - Health and Lifestyle club''. My point of view is that with sport you can connect everyone and it is a good balance to the daily busy life we all have today. In this 45 minutes to two hours I will find out the best training strategies for you and act like a motivational coach with the knowledge of a professional personal trainer. We will train outside and going to use normal advices as park bench or old trees to strengthen our bodies and health system.

I am looking forward to the next training sass ion with you.

Best regards

By means of various techniques from, among others, the Transactional Analysis, you will get a very clear picture of your own communication and its effect in and on your environment in 2 hours. After class, armed with a new arsenal of communication skills, you can put everything you've learned into practice immediately and misunderstandings or disagreements will be a thing of the past.
Be stronger in your shoes and have more self-confidence thanks to insight into communication and communicative techniques. From yourself and from others.

Do you want to dance as energetically as the dancers of Beyonce, Rihanna or other top artists? Then you are in the right place. Commercial dance focuses on exactly that, and originally comes from show business! You guessed it, this dance style is all about beautiful, tight movements and the focus is on performance. So we will definitely work on appearance, because a depressed backup dancer doesn't make anyone happy.

Do you want to participate in high-level competitions, or make unique and fun videos for your social media? Maybe you like to step into the spotlight with your friends for a workshop and make lasting memories together? Everything is possible!

I am a USA-trained figure skater. With my private tutoring, learn all the basics of figure skating up to some more advanced basic moves. The curriculum includes:
Swizzles
One Foot Glides
Forward Crossovers
Backward Crossovers
Inside and Outside Edges
Two Foot Spin
Spirals
Three Turns
Off Ice Strength Conditioning

And more!

I focus very closely on maintaining correct form. Coaching can be customized to your preferences if you would like to focus on improving certain skills. I am not affiliated with a rink so our class is informal and done at times when the rink is not busy, ie late on weekdays.

I started my journey of learning how to shuffle/cut shapes a little over a year and a half ago and it ignited a flame of passion in me like nothing had in a very long time. I'd say it's turned into a somewhat spiritual experience for me. Although there is of course still a lot for me to learn and improve on and I feel like my journey has just started, I feel confident that I can help others get started on their own journey. My fundamentals as well as my knowledge and understanding of the dance are pretty solid and I would never try to teach you something that is outside of my expertise. I think at the end of the day though, the most important thing with dance is to just have fun and to learn to find confidence and freedom in your expression through it, so most of all I hope I can help you find that.
