Expressing myself in the most honest way. Communicating and failing, facing it and growing. Being in the moment and letting go. This is what art is to me. What dance is to me. I am dancing and performing in various contexts. Ranging from big stages, dance theatre and work with choreographers like José Vidal to battle dance, cypher sessions and street shows.
My main dance styles are Popping and Hip Hop. As one of the few female Popping dancers in Germany, it means a lot to me to practice and pass on that style. Moreover I have skills in Breakdance, House and Contemporary dance styles. My master degree in Peace and Security Studies (M.A.) as well as my pedagogic work shows me every day how important it is to dance in todays world.
I walk so I dance
I struggle so I dance
I love so I dance
I am alive so I dance
I dance cause I must
