Dancing gives me inspiration

Dancing has always been one of my greatest passions. Ever since I was four years old, dancing has been a way to relax and truly connect with myself. The versatility is incredibly appealing to me. Every dance experience is different, and I find that so special. While dancing, I feel I can develop myself. That it makes me a stronger person, both physically and mentally. The constant challenges mean there's no limit to my growth as a dancer. At fourteen, I started the Preparatory Course at Danshuis Haarlem, where I learned a tremendous amount over the next three years. As part of the Preparatory Course, we participated in "IBU" as a guest group. This production marked the end of my Preparatory Course, but it led to a new adventure: participating in Dansgroep Haarlem. The process leading up to a performance is incredibly challenging. The research, dancing, and creating requires a lot of focus and dedication. I'm amazed by the passion and dedication of all the dancers. This also teaches me a lot about myself. Dansgroep Haarlem inspires me.
