Hello

I began dancing at the age of four in Prague, in what was then Czechoslovakia. Dance was part of my world from the very beginning, and as I grew older I continued my training through ballroom dancing, developing discipline, musicality, and a deep respect for movement as an art form.

For a time, my dance journey paused when I was unable to find a suitable dance partner to continue with ballroom. It wasn’t the end of my love for dance - just a quiet chapter - until everything changed after I moved to Australia in 1998. It was here that I discovered bellydance, and instantly felt something awaken. This dance spoke to me in a way no other style had before.

Since then, I have explored many other forms of movement, including flamenco, salsa, and Mexican dance. Each style enriched my understanding of rhythm, expression, and culture. Yet no matter where I ventured, I was always drawn back to bellydance, my true home in movement.

My teaching and performance style is shaped by learning from prominent Australian bellydance teachers, as well as my formative experience dancing with Red Opal Theatre, led by the late Ruth Galene. Through her work in Dance Dynamics—an improvised and deeply expressive approach to movement, I discovered the power of authenticity, presence, and embodied storytelling.

Today, I am established as a bellydance teacher who encourages students to explore their own creative voice. My classes are an invitation to move beyond steps and technique, and into self-discovery, joy, and connection. Dance becomes a journey of love, freedom, and knowing who you are, so you can truly dance your life.
