Hello, I have been an artist since 1990. My interest in body movement, specifically dance, began at a young age. I was part of the school's dance group during middle and high school with a focus on modern dance. During my university years, I delved into breakdance, hip hop, and popping. Later, my desire for more freedom led me to explore contemporary dance. I attended contemporary dance classes at the Ankara State Conservatorium for two years.
Upon moving to the Netherlands, a broader space opened up for the exploration of movement. I consistently enriched my experience by working with various people and exploring dance techniques such as floorwork, improvisation, play-fight, Skinner Releasing, Axis Syllabus, and more. In 2014, I participated in a dance project and discovered contact improvisation dance. Since then, I have recognized contact improvisation as my preferred form of expression. I dance while contemplating 'what else is possible?'
While involved in hip hop and breakdance, I also taught classes in these areas. Although I gave yoga classes for 1:1 and groups for a couple of years, until last year (2022), I hadn't focused on teaching dance.
In 2022, I opened my studio/atelier and started offering classes in contemporary dance, repertoire, and contact improvisation. In 2023, with a wonderful dance partner, we began organizing jam sessions on a regular basis. Additionally, I share classes for both beginners and advanced practitioners.
I am currently here to dance, teach, and play!
