Born and raised in Estonia, while searching meaning in existence, after travelling in coldest Lapland under - 30C and warmest Greece over 30C you can find me now enjoying myself last 5 years in Munich, Germany.
Last 20 years I had a great opportunity and pleasure of building my knowledge in different styles of dance parallel to my 15-year work experience in Banking Industry next to the sharks in business.
My body and mind started growing in dance from age 6 under the influence of my great teacher in Ballroom Jury Kuvaicev. He was ahead of his time and everything he did win -medals in DanceBusiness. 7 years competed in 10 dances and got only places on a pedestal. That can be only teachers doing!?
While being a teenager and hating boys :) I changed couple dances to group dance and started participating in Showdance groups Genesis, led by the show dancer in StreetBallet of Juri Kuvaicev, Katrin Noorkoiv. Traveled and Performed in Italy and Switzerland with Showgroup DanceSpirit organized by choreographer Elena Bubon and gymnast Juta Friedel. After finishing Gymnasium, only wish I had is to start studying more about dance and Performing Arts, so I went to study choreography at the University of Tallinn. Same time gave Latin dance, hip-hop, house, lyrical and contemporary lessons for Children and Adults in the different street- and Latin dance schools, and lectured in University of Tartu students in Performing Arts/Dance History and Dance Techniques.
From 2011 found love for Salsa, Bachata and Kizomba in Tallinn Salsa Festival from that day on just can not get enough of Festivals and Social Dancing Culture.
Natural development for learning is sharing the knowledge, so soon was invited to give lessons and workshops in Kizomba and Salsa Schools and local Festivals.
After choreographing shows for DanceSchools in Estonia and creating musicals in Greece I am still learning from wiser ones. Munich has a great opportunity and many artists coming to share their passion with locals. My favorite places to gain brain and body muscle are RiddimDanceSchool, Tanzprojekt München, Salsabor Dance Academy.
From 2018 I am happy and honored to be one of the trainers in the oldest, most familial and educative Salsa Schools in Munich created and led by Rafael Munoz.
My classes are mostly built on learning moves from different dance styles and putting them together. The physically correct accomplishment of one or another movement is second important in my class. Thirdly it is important you keep your own Style I will help you to find yours and we will improve it together. My motto is: "Know what you do and why you do it, otherwise, don't do it!” that is also an important principle in my classes.
So no matter your age, mobility or prior dancing skills. We dance because it makes us happy!

Über mich
Über die letzten 20 Jahre hatte ich das Glück und Vergnügen mein Wissen in vielen verschiedenen Kursen und Weiterbildungen zu verschiedenen Tanzstilen aufzubauen. Dabei habe ich mit großen Lehrern und meinen eigenen persönlichen Helden aus der Szene zusammenarbeiten können. Ich hatte die tolle Chance, mit verschiedenen Tanzschulen und Fitness Studios zusammenzuarbeiten und auch mein Wissen an Studenten, Showgroups, Kinder und Erwachsende mit verschiedene Level an Erfahrungen weiter zu geben. Ich bin aktiv in Showtanz, Ballroom Wettbewerbe und Theateraufführungen gewesen. Ich habe Choreografie in meinem Heimatland Estland studiert und reiste durch die ganze Welt zu verschiedenen Salsa und Street Dance Festivals.
