Partner dancing, especially ballroom dancing in a social setting, is my great passion, which I would like to pass on as a teacher and trainer. I want to enable my couples to have a common, enjoyable experience of movement on the dance floor. I therefore place particular emphasis on a holistic approach to all aspects, whereby a solid foundation is a prerequisite for any development.

Education
Regular dance classes in Standard and Latin since 2018 (incl. private trainings and lessons since 2022), about 2 years of dance classes in Zouk as well as technique classes at DanceZouk.

I started dancing in 2011 in the dance group of my high school, where I learned tap dancing for six years. During my mathematics studies at ETH, I discovered ballroom dancing, which I continue to pursue. Dancing not only offers me a balance to my studies/doctorate, but also allows me to make new contacts. As an assistant at ETH, I discovered my joy of teaching early on and gladly took the opportunity to work with the Academia Zurich dance club. This job allows me to share my passion for dance and deepen my own knowledge.

My love for dancing has been around for a long time, even as a child I danced ballet over 17 years ago. Then, when I started studying at ETH, I signed up for some salsa classes and finally discovered my passion for standard and Latin dancing, which I pursued together with my dance partner Tim Geh­run­ger for a few years now.

For me, partner dancing is the highly developed art of sharing movements to music with another person while enjoying the rhythm and melody. I see it as a language—a tactile form of communication with a clear division of roles. That's why I emphasise learning to lead and follow in my lessons
