My love for dance is what shaped my life. My dance journey started at the age of 6, where I rocked up to my first ballet class in a mini mouse swimsuit and pony galloped around the room, barefoot in a dance hall tucked away in the furthest corner of the 'College of the Art', in Namibia. This is the memory that comes up when I think of my early years of dancing.
I pursued a career in Dance after earning my Bachelors's degree in 2013 and I continued to dance professionally in a Ballet company with Cape Town City Ballet. It was during this time that I also discovered a passion for yoga. A practice that has truly guided my life too. I was a very anxious child and teenager and was never aware of this until I started practicing yoga as an adult. Yoga allowed me to explore other avenues, beyond dancing, to discover who I am. Yoga has taught me how to observe and to accept that which is. It was through yoga that I discovered a deep relaxation of my physical as well as my emotional and mental body.
Movement has always been my magic. It was how I began to experience the world around me. It's how I communicate and remove that which does not serve me. This force of movement, otherwise known as 'traveling the world, ' took me beyond borders I couldn't ever imagine as that 6-year-old child in her mini mouse swimsuit. Traveling allowed me to dance and teach in South Africa, Dubai, Hong Kong, and London. As a certified instructor of Yoga and Barre, my teaching style blends the disciplines I learned with everything that constantly inspires me. In my classes, we will explore various movements, with choreography inspired by my dance background.
I don't take teaching lightly. It's a privilege I hold close to my heart and it gives me enormous fulfilment to guide my students through a balanced class to drive their imagination and tap into that magic available to each of us. In my classes, we will SHIMMY, and SHAKE until we RADIATE.
If you are looking to connect with me, I offer in-person classes in studios around Cape Town.
My Instagram will keep you in the loop of where I will be teaching next, so go find me there to stay in the loop.
In the mean time...
Xx
