Place of birth: Budapest
Nationality: Hungarian
I am a professional dancer, teacher and choreographer graduated in 1989 at the Hungarian Dance Academy. I was the member of Szeged Contemporary Dance Company http://www.szegedikortarsbalett.hu from 1990 till 2008 taking part in masses choreography created by some well-known choreographers from all around the world such as: Myriam Naisy, Phillipe Blanchard, Roberto Galvan, Zoltán Imre, Tamás Juronics, Joseph Thmim etc. I have been working at Yvette Bozsik Company http://www.ybozsik.hu as a guest dancer for years. After leaving Szeged Contemporary Dance Company I have been working as a freelancer. Having spent almost two decades on the stage I gained efficient knowledge in various dance styles (Graham, Limon, Classical Ballet, Contact, etc). Besides my active dance career I've started to give either classical or contemporary dance lessons and dance courses at several dance schools and to make choreographies in theaters. I have recently assisted in tour organization as a manager at Szeged Contemporary Dance Company.
