About my dance journey...
Dance has been a constant thread throughout my life, and teaching has become my greatest passion.
Since 2011, I have worked professionally as a dancer, choreographer and teacher, with a journey that has taken me from Munich to Israel, Freiburg and now Guadeloupe.
Born in 1993, I grew up in Germany, where I began my dance education at the Karren Foster Academy. Alongside dance, I now teach Vinyasa Yoga, offer Ayurvedic massage, and host retreats combining yoga, dance and journaling.
In 2014, I moved to Israel to join the Study Year of the Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company and continued to deepen my dance education through intensive programs and workshops in Amsterdam, Berlin, Tel Aviv, Paris, New York and London. After seven years in Israel, where I worked as a dance teacher across several studios while developing my work as a freelance dancer and choreographer, I moved to Freiburg in 2023. There, I continued teaching and working independently as a dancer and choreographer, while also joining Studio Pro Arte as a dance teacher and co-director of its companies.
Now, drawn by the nature and rhythm of the island, I am excited to be inspired and shaped by Guadeloupe - following the moon cycles, listening to the elements, connecting with the earth, and learning from the land, its culture and its people.

Born in 1993, I grew up in Germany and began my dance training at the age of four with Classical Ballet under the Royal Academy of Dance system. I later expanded my training to modern and contemporary dance, jazz, tap and hip hop at the Karren Foster Academy and Iwanson International, Munich. My passion for teaching developed early, and I began teaching my own classes at seventeen.
After graduating from school in 2012, a severe car accident interrupted my plans to pursue formal dance studies. During two years of rehabilitation, I developed a deeper understanding of anatomy and injury prevention, which continues to influence my approach to teaching and training.
At the Karren Foster Academy, I continued my intensive private training with Karren Foster, assisting with classes and performances while gaining experience in teaching, choreography and promotion. She became an important mentor and formative influence on my path as a dancer and teacher.
In 2014, I joined the Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company Study Year, where I had the opportunity to work with choreographers including Eyal Dadon and Olga Stetsyuk and to perform repertoire by Rami Be’er and Mats Ek. Over the following years, I continued my education through intensive programs and workshops in modern dance, contemporary dance, ballet, Gaga, pedagogy and anatomy in Amsterdam (Henny Jurriens Foundation), Berlin (marameo/tanzfabrik), Tel Aviv (Gaga & Batsheva Repertoire Intensives), Paris (Studio Harmonic/LAX Studio), Frankfurt (tanzmedizin.eV), London (Pineapple Dance Studios, Danceworks, BASE) and New York (Steps on Broadway, Peridance Center, Gibney Dance Center).
My choreographic practice developed alongside my teaching. In 2016, I created and performed Sababa, a full-length work with 17 students from the Karren Foster Academy. I later developed my own works in Israel, including Never Not A Lovely Moon, MOA and A State of Intensity, presented at theatres including Zichri Theatre, Habait Theatre and Jaffa Theatre.
In 2016/2017, I worked as a dancer and teacher in Munich with Dance Theater of Munich, alongside freelance projects and collaborations, including work with Mia Lawrence, Daniela Graça and other artists.
In 2018, I lived at Moa Oasis in the Israeli desert, dedicating this time to movement research, yoga and the development of my own artistic language. After moving to Tel Aviv, I immersed myself for two years in an intensive exploration of Gaga, the movement language developed by Ohad Naharin.
Starting in 2019, I taught Contemporary Dance, Ballet and Jazz at dance studios across Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, including Studio Naim, Dance Community Club, Studio B, Halelu Dance Studio and Bustan Dance Center. In December 2020, during the pandemic, I returned to the Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company to join a training program and receive mentorship for my own creations.
In 2022, I founded DCMK, my own dance studio in Herzliya. That same year, I completed my Hatha/Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training with Nieke Franken in 2022 and immediately began teaching regular weekly classes at Studio Naim.
In September 2023, I moved to Freiburg, Germany, where I worked at Omm.yoga as a yoga teacher and at Studio Pro Arte as a dance teacher in contemporary, ballet and jazz to children, teenagers and adults. I worked as choreographer and manager for the Junior Company, Company Pro Arte and Jazz Company, including one season as Co-Director of the Academy Department, while creating new choreographic platforms.
During my three years in Freiburg, I developed and performed my own choreographic work and collaborated with a range of artists. I created Can You Hold Space for Me - Even Though You Disagree?, a duet with Deyaa Alsayed. As a dancer, I performed in Connecting the Dots by Chantal Kohlmeyer and the Freiburger Akkordeon Orchester, both in Freiburg and later at the Rencontres Chorégraphiques in Casablanca.
In 2025, I created, produced and performed my solo The Voyage Inward at E-WERK Freiburg as a co-production with the theatre. I continued creating and performing in 2026 with Beyond, a production for which I worked as producer, choreographer and dancer, as well as Echo of Now by Lucie Betz and Broken Light by Felicitas Lehr, where I worked as dancer and assistant choreographer.
Alongside dance, I have explored yoga, breathwork and meditation through programs with Sadhguru and the Isha Foundation. In 2026, I also became certified as an Ayurvedic massage therapist.
In August 2026, I moved to the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, opening a new chapter in my personal and artistic journey.
From September 2026, I will be teaching Contemporary Dance, Ballet and Jazz at ARTEMA – Centre de Danse, Espace Danse Wargnier, and École de danse Liliane Bimont in Guadeloupe.
