Ballet
Ballet has been my passion since early childhood. In 2009, my passion became my full-time job when I joined the Hamburg Ballet John Neumeier, with whom I performed worldwide, including tours in Germany, France, Italy, America, Russia, China, Japan and Australia. Until the pandemic, I was a guest of the Kiel Theatre under the direction of Yaroslav Ivanenko.
In 2013 I decided to share my experience with students of all ages and levels by teaching in various dance schools in Hamburg. Body control, grace and the joy of dancing are very important to me.

Tango Argentino
Tango Argentino has been at the centre of my personal exploration for the past eleven years. Trips to Buenos Aires and workshops with international maestros of the tango scene brought me closer to the culture and technique of this exciting and musical dance. Since 2014 I have been teaching and performing tango all over Europe.
The main focus of my work is the connection between dance and music as well as the embrace and communication between leader and follower.

Private classes
For ballet as well as for tango and Pilates, individual lessons offer the possibility to adapt the structure of the training to you. Private lessons create space for you to address your own needs and work on subtleties of your choice.
We can find out where your strengths lie and what we can still work on together.
Private classes can also take place in small groups.
Another way to get personal advices is a video-analysis: Send me a video of your training and I will send you my comments and corrections with a video with personal and adapted exercises for your needs. (For tango: with or without partner.)
Training and dancing in a healthy way, both mentally and physically, are very important to me.

Tango Argentino alone or in couple: 60 minutes ==> 100 €

About Me
I started dancing when I was four. I used to imitate ballet moves from a book that was lying around our house. My parents recognised my urge to move and decided to enrol me in a dance school. I started with rhythmic and ballet, then jazz, modern, contemporary, folk and tap. At the age of 12, I joined the Association pour la Formation de jeunes Danseurs (AFJD) dance and study programme at Béthusy High School.
At the age of 16, I left my hometown of Lausanne (CH) to train for two years with John Neumeier's Hamburg Ballet. During these two years I received a scholarship from Migros (pour-cent culturel). I then joined the company for four years and performed on various stages around the world. These exciting years had a great impact on me personally and professionally. A few years later, I discovered my passion and talent for teaching, which has since become my full-time job, in addition to freelancing as a dancer in various projects.
Awards
° 1rst place at the ballet competition of Solothurn (CH) in 2005, 2006 and 2007.
° 1rst place at the german championship of argentine tango (tango salón) with A. Alvarez in 2014.
° Finalist at the EU championship of argentine tango (tango salón) with O. Gümrükçü in 2016.
In 2013 I discovered another passion, the Tango Argentino. After a few years of travelling, learning and dancing, I have now also been able to gain show and teaching experience here.
I love movement in all its forms and enjoy getting to know the body with all its secrets. To expand my dance knowledge and skills, I have completed additional training in Pilates, fascia training, fitness and yoga.
In July 2024, after three years of school, I graduated from high school and in October of the same year I started my Bachelor's degree in Philosophy and Sociology at the University of Hamburg.
I speak fluent French (mother tongue), German, English and Spanish.
