About me
I am a dancer from Greece. I have studied dance and teaching in a professional dance school in Athens. I was a member of EDge'10 the Postgraduate dance company of London Contemporary Dance School (2010) and I was greatly honoured to receive a scholarship from A. Onassis foundation in order to complete my studies. Recently I worked with the dance theater company Backsteinhaus Produktion choreographed by Nicki Liszta in Stuttgart. I have participated in various festivals in Greece and I have received classes by very important artists in Greece and abroad. I am interested in Contemporary dance and more specifically in Improvisation. I am also very interested in teaching creative dance, contemporary with improvisation elements as well as ballet and barre a terre to professionals, beginners and children. I have also completed my studies in chemistry in the National University of Athens.Skills
