About Me

I started ballet from the age of 9, and it has been something that has stuck with me throughout my life. With a Checetti background and having completed my Advanced Professional levels and teaching qualifications in Ballet, Modern and Tap(through ISTD), I come with a wealth of knowledge that I'm very passionate about sharing.

I have always loved teaching and helping others in developing their skills. My approach to teaching has always been based on the student, meaning I adapt to their needs and specifiations. I am focus-driven and goal-orientated. This is to ensure a healthy about of growth and improvement. While I always strive for a positive and stimulating experience, I enjoy working with students who are willing to put in the extra work and who take it as seriously as I do.

Classes, choreography and staging! in person or virtually

Are you going home and want to do something special? Let's do it together, whether it's a dance, a performance, or whatever you want—alone, with your partner, family, bridesmaids, or whoever you want. There are two options: I'll teach you how to dance the genre you're going to dance plus the choreography, or I'll just teach you the choreography. It's up to you.

The cost of creating choreographies depends on their duration (in addition to the cost of the class and/or rehearsal).

All ages and levels, don't wait any longer!

The classes are aimed at the assimilation of technical elements with a biomechanical approach, focusing on the development of appropriate mechanics based on muscle chains and joint release. Knowledge of the objectives of the class sequences with a methodology broken down into the steps, theoretical and practical, will allow a more conscious execution in the long term, preventing short-term injuries. The importance of identifying body strengths and weaknesses individually, to program an exercise plan and overcome technical challenges in the development of a ballet class. Coordination, agility, resistance, stability, flexibility and proprioception will be objectives within reach during classes!
Commitment and dedication will be our allies 🤗
There is always time to start with your dreams and goals, whether you are just starting out, you have been training for a while and you want to give your work a twist to the codes of classical dance from a more organic perspective or dance has simply been part of your life and you like to be active based on the psycho-physical benefits of this discipline.
Together we can share the process of training from a different consciousness, attending to the body as a whole.😁

My class is based on the famous Vaganova method. Therefore during our work we will focus on the correct technique of movement and its style, so you will learn not only how to do elements correctly but also will understand how to make your dance look beautiful and catching for audience.
Also I stand for a positive approach in the educational process, because I am deeply convinced that this kind of attitude is one of the main keys to improvement.
You can study with me:
Classical ballet
Point work
Ballet Repertoire
Stretching
Ballet gymnastics

I have been working as an actress and educator since 2012, and since 2015 I have devoted myself to the study and practice of Butoh dance and physical theatre. My journey in this field began at LUME Teatro, a renowned theatre group with over 40 years of history, where I studied and practised the methodology developed by Luís Otávio Burnier.
In 2015, Butoh entered my life and profoundly transformed my understanding of art and existence. Through the work of Kazuo Ohno and Tatsumi Hijikata, I encountered the depth and expressive power of Butoh not only as an artistic language, but also as a way of life. Over time, what began as research has become a guiding philosophy, shaping how I perceive movement, presence, expression, and the human experience.
Butoh is a Japanese dance form that emerged in the 1950s. It is a practice that works from the inside out, functioning as an active meditation and a process of self-knowledge. In Butoh, the body becomes an instrument of poetry, subjectivity, and transformation, inviting a deep immersion into one’s inner landscape.
Within Butoh, there is the concept of ma, the space in between, referring to invisible and empty spaces where matter cannot be seen, yet which are filled with life and presence. This understanding resonates with aspects of Buddhist philosophy, offering a sensitive invitation to experience oneself, the surrounding space, nature, and life with greater awareness and openness.

Awaken the Shakti within, by enlivening the body that we so easily neglect.
The sensual is a powerful force that can lay dormant when not moved and nurtured. This class combines ancient forms of dance such as belly dance and the sensual ceremony of the body, to find and ignite the deity within.
Belly dance was birthed to honour and alleviate childbirth and period pains, so is deeply rooted in the divine feminine. An energy so essential for the world and its life force.
Sensual ceremony of the body invites a presence to be with the body, activating a deep listening, to re-imagine the relationship of the holy trinity within, mind, body and soul.
I welcome you with warmth and presence.
