"I look forward to sharing my experiences and insights into the world of dance, both as a choreographer and a teacher. In my contemporary dance class, I encourage a free choreography approach, treating technique as a tool to enhance dance. Emphasizing correct placement, musicality, and the dynamics of movement quality, I aim to cultivate a soft and organic flow. Above all, my classes are designed to empower dancers to move
freely, expressively, and tap into their own imagination."
