“my passion”
For me, dancing is more than a hobby. It is my passion, which I turned into my profession several years ago. Even though I did a study in business administration, I could not help but to want to go back my roots: dancing. I became a certified ADTV dance instructor, and spent three years honing my dance skills, but also discovering the joy of teaching dance to others. This strengthened me in my belief that “Dancing should be fun!”
It is not the perfection, but the feel-good factor and moving together in harmony that I find most important.
To see happiness on the dancers’ faces is the best thing that can happen to me as a dance instructor! “Leaving the worries of the world behind when dancing” -.... That is the feeling every dancer should have and it is my challenge to make sure you experience just that.

My years of experience in dance, choreography and teaching help me to achieve that. But to me, the key to success in dancing is creating a comfortable atmosphere, in which one can learn how to dance free of stress, uncomplicated, private and completely flexible.
This is what I want to offer through AO Dance: a combination of the practicality and anonymity of online learning and personalised advice and guidance.
My Motto: If you can walk, you can dance!

“Dancing is my life”
I discovered my love for dancing at the age of 5. Starting with children’s ballet, carnival and majorettes, winning several gold medals in Jazz and Modern dance at “Youth trains for Olympia” and at the age of 16 moving on to Standard and Latin dancing. Following the example of my dance teacher I sought ways to turn a hobby into my ultimate dream job. After graduating high school I took the step to make that dream a reality.
As a certified ADTV dance instructor, Master Instructor in Disco dance, professional teacher in Disco Fox/ Boogie, Tango Argentino, Salsa, Zumba, Piloxing as well as children’s dance, I gained in a wide range of dancing styles from as early as 2011.
In recent years I gained a lot of experience in first dances, and with individualised choreographies and wedding dances for groom and bride, father and daughter, bachelor parties as well as for animators and presenters.
My motto is: dancing is moving, and everyone can move, regardless of age or size.
There is nothing more rewarding than to see the joy and fun on the faces of my dancing customers when we make and practice something together. It is all the pay I need. It gives me great joy to see my passion and motivation for dance reflected in others.
