I started to visit my first dance school when I was six. For my parents I was too energetic, too difficult to handle, so they put me in football and dance,
just to get the energy level down at home. At the beginning I danced for the purpose of moving around. The inner sensation, that I was dancing, came years later in a ballet class, when I was “hit” by a music that embraced my little soul.
I consider myself fortunate to have studied in a dance school with a human and creative vision. That I had the opportunity to be educated by great human beings and artists. The most important of my teachers and guide into the dance world was Patricio Bunster, a Chilean Choreographer, Dancer and Teacher. He introduced me in the world of Movement, Expression and Dance. And the knowledge that exists behind all human emotional appearance and physical action.

Teaching

The urge to teach, to educate others, to transmit this passion for dance which I always considered as the primer source, was a slow working process.
After dancing about ten years, I had the feeling something was missing in my evolution as a human being, as an artist. I realized that there was an internal wish to share what was given to me in such a generous way.

I consider educating another human being, doesn’t matter in which field, the most accountable task ever. To teach another person means for me; to accompany a living soul on its way,
to give this person the opportunity to become conscious about himself and the world he is living in. I always consider, and I always perceive the dancer I work with, first of all as a human being, which is on the way of developing himself in an artist, in a dancer.
The more he develops his humanity, the better he can serve the world of dance.
The teacher therefore can by his acting close or open the human soul.
I remember my tutor told me once:

”A wise Teacher guides the student into a room and opens the windows”
