About me
HISTORY
Over 20 years of passion, performance, and teaching across the world
DANCER & TEACHER
My journey with dance began at the age of 6 in Bucharest. By 14, I was already teaching — learning as curiously as I do today, and sharing that joy with others.
Over the years, I became a finalist in competitions across Europe, earned the title of National Vice Champion multiple times, and proudly won the Romanian Cup. One of my most unforgettable moments was performing live on stage alongside Michael Jackson.
My path eventually led me to the United States, where I taught at the prestigious Arthur Murray Dance Company and went on to win the Dance With Me USA instructors’ competition. I’ve had the privilege of working with hundreds of students and choreographing dozens of unforgettable routines.
For me, teaching dance is not just about technique — it’s about joy, confidence, and the freedom to express who you are through movement. Whether you’re preparing for your first dance as a couple or simply dancing for yourself, every session is tailored, calm, and clearly guided.
You’ll be supported with professionalism, patience, and just the right amount of humor — because dance is about smiling too, not just perfection.
“Dance is the language I use to help people reconnect with themselves, each other, and the beauty of the moment.”
Dancing since 1989
The story began 36 years ago, when I first met dance…
HOW IT STARTED
1989 – First Contact with Dance
At just 6 years old, I discovered modern dance — and with it, a new way to express my personality through movement. I was curious, energetic, and deeply drawn to music. What began as a simple activity quickly became something more: a pure joy that lit a fire in me and shaped the way I moved through the world.
1995 – Entering the World of Ballroom Dance
After a few years of modern dance, I stepped for the first time into a ballroom dance studio — the renowned Pași în Doischool in Bucharest. It was love at first sight. The rhythm, the discipline, and the elegance of ballroom dance captivated me instantly.
Just three months after I began, I was already stepping onto the floor for my very first competition.
1999 – Becoming an Instructor at ONLY 14 YEARS OLD
My dedication and maturity on the dance floor quickly stood out — and by the age of 14, I began teaching. It was during this time that I discovered my true calling: sharing what I love most with others.
Even at a young age, I found the balance between patience and precision — and it helped me earn the respect of my students and peers alike.
2000–2005 – National Champion & International Finalist
During these years, I actively competed in both national and international ballroom events, proudly representing Romania in countries like Germany, Bulgaria, Slovakia, and Moldova.
I earned the title of National Champion and became a finalist in multiple European championships. My elegant style and precise control of movement were consistently recognized and praised across the competitive dance world.
2010–2012 – Instructor in the U.S. – Arthur Murray
I moved to the United States, where I taught at the prestigious Arthur Murray Dance Company. This period was transformative — it allowed me to refine both my style and my teaching methodology while working with hundreds of students from all walks of life.
2012–2013 – Instructor & Winner at Dance With Me USA
In 2012, I began teaching at the prestigious Dance With Me USA studio — a competitive and inspiring environment that pushed me to grow even further as a professional.
In 2013, I was honored to win the studio’s top Instructor Competition, recognized for my clear teaching style, personalized approach, and charismatic presence in the classroom.
2022–2024 – Returning to Romania
After years of international experience, I made the decision to return home to Bucharest — driven by a desire to bring a fresh, modern level of professionalism to ballroom dance instruction.
I focused on private lessons and wedding choreography, offering a personalized, efficient, and contemporary teaching style designed to help each student feel confident and connected on the dance floor..
2025 – A New Chapter in Marbella
In 2025, I began a new chapter — relocating to Marbella, a place full of beauty, energy, and inspiration. Here, I continue to teach and create, bringing together over three decades of dance experience to offer something personal, elegant, and truly unique.
Whether you’re preparing for your wedding, discovering dance for the first time, or simply looking to move with joy and confidence, I’m here to guide you — step by step.
