WHAT DO I DO
Passionate dancer focussed on teaching basic (biomechanical) dance principles to find freedom in movement and prevent injuries.
My Background
I’m a classically trained dancer using my knowledge and expertice around basic principles of dance to educate others to find more freedom in their movement.
Follower emancipation and teaching from a follower perspective is always a main point in every workshop and sets my teaching apart form others.
Workshops
My teaching style is not about teaching steps but how to move yourself and your dance partner whether you are dancing in a leader or follower role.
Imporovisation and healty movement is always a keypoint in all classes. See where I’m scheduled to teach or request a workshop for your event,

ABOUT ME
I’m a passionate dancer focussed on teaching basic (biomechanical) dance principles to find freedom in movement and prevent injuries. I’m a classically trained dancer (ballet) since the age of 3 and a bit. Since 2012 I dove into couple dancing through my main (social) dance style of Balfolk.
I’m a follower at heart… because I felt a lot of teaching in couple dancing focuses on the leader and followers get told “just follow” but no one ever explains how to follow… out of sheer frustration I jumped in to that rabbit hole myself somewhere around 2018.
For example, in 2022 I gave workshops in 4 different countries and I organised my first multi-day intensive. Where the focus was completely on self development as a dancer with a strong foundation in basic dance technique.
Because my main focus is on connection and finding freedom in movement (and also my interest in a lot of different dance styles) the natural course was towards fusion. Because the fusion scene in the Netherlands is not very large I created FusionUnion in 2022 for the promotion of fusion events and also I organiser once every while a clash of the social dancers. With the goal to het dancers with different (social) dance styles on the same dance floor to start creating and experimenting together to various music.
