About me

I am a freelance dancer. Besides creating and performing I lead classes and workshops in contemporary dance, improvisation and contact improvisation for professionals, future professionals and the general public.

I am a certified massage therapist. An intensive work with the body has led me to techniques that restore the body's balance and harmonize our being.

In dance and massages I find a connection to what interests me: a liberated, sensitized, receptive, connected and conscious body, energy, touch, the present moment, sharing, nonverbal communication, community…

I graduated with a MA in History from Charles University in Prague, but I have dedicated myself to dance and movement, which has been an interest of mine since childhood.
