After 40 years of teaching different groups of people – mainly acting and musical students – in various kinds of techniques (Modern, Jazz, Tap, Afro) in several countries, she now mainly teachesimprovisation and free dance. To her, it is important to work in and with positive energy: Enjoying the movement, being able to learn and try without fear, to allow mistakes, recognizing one's own limits and expanding them, having the courage to be oneself, to be in the moment. So the lively, the joyful can jump over the participants and a development takes place. In 1981 she went to New York where she learned at the Martha Graham School, Alvin Ailey Dance Center, Merce Cunningham Studio and so dived into the world of dance. Since 1983 she has taught at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna (Max Reinhardt Seminar) as well as at the University Sports Department Vienna and at different European Universities in Germany, Sweden and Lithuania.
