In my classes, I offer a complete dance experience that combines strong technical foundations with creativity and performance. We start by working on technique to develop posture, alignment, balance, control, and precision. This technical base allows students to progress safely while building strength, flexibility, and coordination.
Beyond technique, I place great importance on improvisation. I guide students to connect with the music, explore their own movement quality, and develop their musicality. This part of the class helps build confidence, body awareness, and personal expression, allowing each dancer to find their own style.
We also work on learning and refining choreography. The focus is not only on memorising steps but on understanding dynamics, transitions, and performance quality. I encourage students to dance with intention, presence, and emotion, so they don’t just execute movements but truly embody them.
My goal is to help each student grow technically, artistically, and personally in a supportive and motivating environment.

Originally trained in France, I have been dancing since the age of 3 and studying at the Conservatoire from the age of 9. I graduated from a French National Conservatoire, where I developed strong technical foundations, discipline, and artistic expression.
I am currently teaching in two dance schools in Australia – JDC and SDS – and also run my own independent classes in Griffith.
With over 15 years of training and performance experience, I specialise in helping students in contemporary and jazz classes.
I teach beginners to advanced levels and adapt each class to the student’s goals, whether you want to improve technique, prepare for a performance, work on a wedding dance, or simply gain confidence through movement.
My teaching style combines the precision of French conservatoire training with a supportive and empowering atmosphere.
