BIO
Every carefree, pleasant motion of our bodies that merges with music, every flowing brush stroke and creation is a guide to freedom.
Perceiving, accepting, and moving the body in new ways can help to experience one's life story in new ways. The potential of healing and creative powers in movement and body awareness is limitless.
After more than 20 years of international teaching in Middle Eastern and fusion dance, my career has culminated in the direction of dance and art therapy. Since 2014, I have been working with non-verbal therapeutic tools, and currently, as a psychology student, I am striving to deepen my knowledge in the field of cognitive psychology.
NATURE DANCE - a holistic dance and art activity that I recommend for those who want to explore and deepen the path of self-knowledge through non-verbal means, using dance and art therapy tools. No dance knowledge is required for these sessions. We work with spiritual practices and creations linked through free movements. (You can encounter this program during our Nő7x retreats)
NATURE DANCE PROJECT and MODERN FUSION DANCE - my sessions are for dancers focusing on creativity, technique, artistic vision, performance skills, deeply meaningful movements, and confidence-building. I would like to pass on my many years of stage experience through these programs, helping artists to fully realize their potential. (You can encounter this program at workshops, private lessons, and the Fusion Forest summer camp.)
Movement experimentation reminds us of the experiential world of our early stages of life. From the skin stimulation of gentle touches to stronger physical contact (with the ground, another person), stimulating our deep muscle and tendon receptors, and experiencing the various qualities of spatial awareness, both physical and emotional responsiveness develop simultaneously, along with body awareness, improvisation skills, and the differentiation of the internal body image.
“My mission is to teach you to love yourself through your movements.”
