As a ballet teacher for the professional ballet course "Junior Ballet," I guide talented children and young people on their path to a strong dance education. With great dedication, I teach not only technique and expression, but also the discipline and passion required for classical ballet.

In addition to classical ballet, I also teach folk dance and character dance—two fascinating styles that bring the cultural diversity of dance to life. My goal is to impart not only dance skills to my students, but also joy, expressiveness, and self-confidence.
