About Lucy

01

Salsa On 1

Salsa On 2

03

Modern Dance

Berlin-based multidisciplinary dance instructor and licensed physiotherapist with 10+ years in dance studies and movement practice.

Specializing in Salsa On 1, Salsa On 2, and Modern Dance — a rare combination of niche expertise that positions her uniquely in Berlin's dance scene.

Her wide breadth of expertise across different forms of Latin dance and Modern dance, learned from specialist instructors across the world, is what sets her apart. She sought out the best teachers globally and synthesized multiple traditions into her own methodology.

She merges clinical understanding of the human body with artistic dance training — she doesn't just teach movement, she understands biomechanics, injury prevention, and physical rehabilitation.

Trained at the Martha Graham School in NYC, Danceworks Berlin, and internationally in Toronto, Buenos Aires, and Bilbao.
