Dutch, English, Art, Dance, Healing, Creativity, Mentorship, Coach

With more than 30 years of international experience in movement, performance, healing, and education, I help students reconnect with their creativity, confidence, body awareness, and authentic expression. My teaching goes beyond technique alone. Whether I teach contemporary dance, improvisation, contact improvisation, movement awareness, creativity, communication, or somatic practices, my focus is always on helping people grow both artistically and personally. I create safe, inspiring, and dynamic learning environments where students feel encouraged to explore, take risks, and discover their own potential. My approach combines professional artistic discipline with emotional intelligence, awareness, and human connection. Students can expect classes that develop: * Creativity and self-expression * Body awareness and movement quality * Confidence and stage presence * Communication and collaboration * Improvisation and problem-solving skills * Emotional awareness and connection * Technical and artistic growth Having worked internationally with professional dancers, beginners, students, executives, and multidisciplinary groups, I adapt my teaching to the needs and level of each individual. I believe every person already carries unique qualities within themselves — my role is to help them discover, develop, and trust those qualities through movement and experience. My philosophy is simple: Movement is not only something you do — it is something that reveals who you are.
