I started my dance training when I was 4 years old, I trained in several different dance styles: classical dance, jazz, hip hop, tango, salsa, girly, among others. Dance is my passion in life and I have been lucky enough to be able to teach it for almost 15 years.

I have extensive experience teaching private lessons and in schools to students of various ages and levels, from beginners to more experienced dancers. I adapt to each student's level and preferences.

Also, for wedding choreographies, I take the time to discuss with the couple to understand their requests, their needs and even the possible obstacles and thanks to that I build a unique choreography and I accompany them in learning it to obtain the desired result for the long-awaited "big day"!

I am a trained psychologist and coach, which allows me to provide tailored support while respecting each person's pace.

Contact me so we can organize your course or event together!

We know ballet is a very specific field where some of us could feel unsafe; after 18 years of practice in it as a queer/trans person, I realize there is no space for us there; but that's also untrue, we can make that space. So this is what I will try to do with these classes. A comfortable place to move and learn the technique of it, and if you already know it, to develop it further and be accompanied always.
