I teach...5Rhythms® waves, workshops and retreats for adults since 2019
I dance because...it always wakes me up and supports my inner processes in all situations in life. It also takes me away from pointless thought carousels back into my body and into the moment and because I can express in dance what I often don't have the words for. I also really enjoy being part of a group and the wordless encounters are nourishing and healing. It's also healthy in many ways and just a hell of a lot of fun.
I pay special attention to the fact that... the group atmosphere and the needs of the participants is good, varied music and inspiring topics and a safe and non-judgmental space that also allows a lot of freedom.
This song always gets me moving...Coeur de la nuit (Worakls Remix) by Ferdinand Dreyssig & Marvin Hey.
A special influence on me are...music, dance, craniosacral therapy, weather, mountains, campfire atmosphere and my favorite people.
The best place to dance for me is...with a 5Rhythms® offer from colleagues and ideally with a group size of about 20-25 dancers.
A key moment in dance for me was...participating in my first 5Rhythms® Wave when I suddenly understood that I could dance freely in this space, without guidelines, without judgment and simply as I am.
I want to pass on to my students...that the magic of the 5Rhythms® is healing and that dancing is the most fun workout ever.
I look forward to it every year...when we continue to develop through dance and the changes in movement become visible. When the experiences we have on the dance floor slowly transfer into everyday life. I also look forward to summer in Berlin and winter in the Alps ;)
