About

Im a Finnish- Ghanaian dancer, dance teacher, choreographer and doula.

Im a Finnish- Ghanaian dancer, dance teacher, choreographer and doula. I love groove, flow, a sense of freedom and belonging. In my dance universe (and life) I'm constantly drawn for these elements. Besides my passion for dance I love nature, children, colors and community. My heart burns for creating for and with children and youth. Id love to see a world where children and youth get to grow up being in their superpowers.

Education

  • Dancer
    Åsa folkhögskola (2014-2016)
  • Bachelor in dance pedagogy
    University of Arts in Stockholm (2017-2020)
  • Traditional West African dances

Besides these official studies Ive studied contemporary and modern West- African dances in Ghana and Benin. My doula education I did in Cape Coast, Ghana at A life of peace- school (2022).
I've been teaching dance since 2010 and my passion for teaching stems from my desire to both be and to create environments free from worrie, where self expression is the goal and joy is garanteed.
