As I promised, here is a translation of my picture book about my journey as a dancer, fitness instructor and yoga teacher.
I've been moving nonstop ever since I was a child, I was always on some courses or did some sports, until dance found me in high-school. Latin and ballroom dancing took me from hobby to competing and then modern and contemporary straight to the Hungarian Dance Academy and later to the pedagogy department of Anton Bruckner University. During my active years I danced around Europe, mainly with project and seasonal contracts.
In 2006 I made my dancer debut at Papp Låszló Sport Arena in 56 Drop Blood in front of about 10000 people, and in the following 15 years I had the luck to stay on stage in many various projects in and outside of my homeland. I worked in theaters, musicals, modern and contemporary dance pieces, circus, revue shows, concert tours, exhibition openings, and even film productions.

I've been actively working during my studies, mainly on projects with my seniors at the Academy, sometimes fusing dance styles like modern & flamenco.
On top of that I could debut as a choreographer with my dance etude 'Stone Statues' which was awarded at the Academy's competition. Later on I was asked to made a full 20 min dance piece, named 'Message from a Bottle'

I got to work on some films and series too, which were set in Hungary. Such as the Borgias with Jeremy Irons and NBC's Dracula with Jonathan Rhys Meyers
Or the Maigret TV film, where I was in the same scene with Rowan Atkinson. This was set in Budapest Moulin Rouge right before it closed permanently and I also made the short choreography for the girls on stage.
2011 - 12 were the years of International Salsa and Kizomba Festivals. Not only I was in the organizer team, but also did workshops at the events. You can see a photo of my Contact Improvisation workshop on II. Budapest Kizomba Connection Festival in the right lower corner.
Fun fact: I wrote my uni thesis about the fusion of salsa and cotemporary dance.
I started pole dancing also around that time, later on I started to teach it as well. This sport was a real love at first sight. A wonderful mix of strenght, flexibility and artistic expression.
