About

I am known for my work as a creative Director, choreographer, movement coach and a dance trainer. While travelling all over the world I have learned that music and dance unites people, regardless where they’re from. It brings me pure joy to be able to make a connection with the audience through my work. Whether it is independently, for a project or on behalf of a client. My mission is to make a vision come alive and I often say: ‘You tell the story and I’ll set the stage!’
