Anna
Hello, I’m Anna, a dancer who graduated from Outokumpu 2020. I’ve made a leap from the world of educational sciences to the field of dance. Currently, I’m working towards my Bachelor’s degree in Dance Arts at the Theatre Academy of the University of the Arts Helsinki. I have a long background in street styles, which has affected my way of teaching.
In my classes, we explore floor techniques, pace of the movement and enjoy the rhythms of the music. Through diverse and dynamic dance sequences, you’ll have the opportunity to practice weight transfer, balance and coordination. I approach teaching with a gentle and encouraging manner and can promise you plenty of joy and sweat! Hope to see you in class!
