I spent almost my whole life focused on classical ballet, attending dance camps over summer break, and doing intensive dance workshops with Martin Sonderkamp and others. After high school, I was accepted into Turkey's most prestigious conservatory, Mimar Sinan, where I expanded into contemporary dance. I simultaneously graduated from London's Royal Academy of Dance where my training included workshops in pilates, yoga, and anatomy. I have spent the last 14 years teaching classical ballet and contemporary dance to students of all ages and skill levels.

Welcome! My teaching focuses on my student's strengths and reasons for learning. I ensure that students are taught from a personalized curriculum that brings them closer to their goals while emphasizing the music fundamentals that will prepare and enrich them for life. I am passionate about dance, choreography, and events planner. I believe I can engage any curious or dedicated student with this eclectic mix of perspectives and experience for over 20 years.
