Profile

I am the Founder of Danceology, an initiative dedicated to advancing dance through education, research, and evidence-based coaching. Through Danceology, I integrate academic knowledge with practical experience to promote the holistic development of dancers, coaches, and the wider dance community.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology and Social Work, which strongly complements my role as an educator and mentor by providing a deep understanding of human behavior, motivation, group dynamics, and social development. In addition, I have completed the psychopedagogical training module, which qualifies me to teach and coach with a solid foundation in educational theory and practice.

Conducting sociological research in sport dance is a central focus of my professional and academic work. My research explores the social, educational, and cultural dimensions of dance, with particular emphasis on athlete development, coaching practices, motivation, well-being, and the broader social factors that influence participation and performance. Through this work, I aim to contribute to the development of evidence-based practices that enhance both athletic excellence and personal growth.

I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in European Social Policies, further strengthening my expertise in social systems, public policy, and research methodology. This interdisciplinary background enables me to bridge sociology, education, and sport in both my research and professional practice.

My professional journey reflects a unique combination of competitive dance expertise, pedagogical training, sociological research, and entrepreneurial leadership. I am committed to excellence, integrity, and the holistic development of every dancer I work with, believing that success in dance is built not only on technical mastery but also on personal development, critical thinking, and lifelong learning.
