Dancing has always been a natural part of my life. At family celebrations, the dance floor was where everyone from young to old came together. This joy of movement shaped me early on.

I gained my first intensive experience in modern and contemporary dance, complemented by ballet technique. As part of a Berlin dance formation, I performed on JMC competition stages for several years and trained three times a week. This period laid my technical foundation.

For about ten years now, my heart has belonged especially to Cuban dances. During this time, I have not only trained intensively myself but also gained many years of teaching experience. I've also had the opportunity to learn from some of the world's best dancers at numerous salsa festivals throughout Europe, constantly gaining new inspiration.

Several trips to Cuba ultimately gave everything its own special polish. There I was able to work and learn with local dancers and teachers, experiencing the dances directly in their cultural context. These experiences flow directly into my teaching today, along with my passion for conveying dance not just as movement, but also as an expression of culture and attitude toward life.
