What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining dance teaching, choreography and performance with opportunities to lead workshops, grow teams, and develop fitness-based programs.

I am a multidisciplinary dance professional with extensive experience as a teacher, choreographer, performer and fitness trainer. I blend stage performance, commercial dance, and fitness instruction to deliver high-energy, audience-ready work.

As a practitioner I have worked as a dance teacher since 2017, choreographed music videos, and performed with companies and events including Les Mills Body Attack and various agencies. I have led competitions and organized dance events, demonstrating both creative and operational leadership.

In fitness and training I work as a personal trainer and branch manager at a gym while instructing group Body Attack classes, bringing strong coaching, communication and teaching skills to both individual and group settings.

I hold formal dance education from Fontys School of Fine and Performing Arts and the Academy of Dance Education, and I am fluent in English with native Dutch. I bring professional discipline, creativity, and a track record of delivering performances, workshops and coaching across stage, studio and commercial contexts.
