I am a Stage School of Music, Dance and Drama (Hamburg 2002) and Iwanson School of contemporary Dance (Munich 2005) alumni. I have trained with some world leading teachers and choreographers - Mandy Moore (LaLa Land/Emmy Winner), Andy Blankenbuehler (Hamilton/multiple Tony Winner), Brian Friedman (Britney Spears), Mia Michaels (so you think you can dance/multiple Emmy Winner), Ryan Heffington (Emmy+MTV Award Winner), Sonya Tayeh (Tony Winner), Wade Robson (Emmy Winner), Tyce Diorio (Emmy Winner), Karla Puno Garcia (Emmy Winner) and many more- in New York and mainly in Los Angeles. I took classes with the Pacific Northwest Ballet in Seattle and further training in London, Stockholm or San Francisco. All these classes and my experiences on stage, are responsible for the teacher and choreographer I am today.
Since more than 20 years I am a teacher for all styles of Jazz Dance and Contemporary. All kind of ages and levels, from beginners to professionals cross the globe, also in social community projects (for kids). I offer classes, workshops and coaching, live or virtual.
I often get invitations to international judging panels for theater- , dance- and film competitions.
I was a talent scout for the German version of GOT TO DANCE (Sat1) 2013-2015.
