Movement has always been a part of my curiosity in life. From a young age, I was drawn to dance, gymnastics and being outside—but dance remained a constant drive.

I spent ten years studying dance, beginning with classical ballet at the Royal Ballet School of Antwerp. Later, I explored contemporary dance at The! Kunsthumaniora of Contemporary in Dance before focusing on choreography at ArtEZ School of the Arts in the Netherlands.

In 2021, after graduating and starting to work internationally as a dancer and choreographer, I found myself searching for something deeper. I felt lost and needed to reconnect with myself beyond my career. That realization led me to change direction.

Since then, I have been working as a freelance dance and movement teacher in Rotterdam, sharing movement with people of all ages, from toddlers to centenarians, within organizations such as Stichting Kunstzinnige Vormgeving Rotterdam. Through my work, I aim to create an open and welcoming space where movement becomes a way to connect, grow, and simply enjoy being present.

At the heart of it all, my hope is to help people reconnect with themselves, with each other, and with nature through the simple yet powerful experience of dance.
