Charlotte lives and works as a dancer and choreographer in Berlin. She discovered Forró in Portugal in 2016. This opened up a new world full of encounters, poetry and the joy of dancing for her. Her passion for teaching Forró developed through longer stays in Brazil and meeting inspiring dancers. In addition to regular classes in Berlin and Leipzig, she gives workshops at various festivals. Furthermore she organizes events with other teachers in Berlin with the desire to research, share and connect. As a trained contemporary dancer Charlotte experiences Forró as a very refreshing, creative and varied dance style. In her workshops she makes you enjoy movement, music and the connection to your partner, with a focus on technique and the precision of steps and posture. She loves teaching first steps to beginners as well as complex choreographic sequences to experienced dancers.

My Contemporary Dance classes involve floorwork, upside down elements, dancing together, and enjoying the music we dance to. We will focus on using the hands and arms to find a connection to the partner and to the floor. We will explore the creativity of handstands, cartwheels and more acrobatic movements, aiming at accomplishing more freedom in our personal way of moving. From there the class will gradually develop into movement patterns that connect the single patterns into a flow. We will challenge our speed, articulation and stamina.

During my studies in Dance I was introduced to the Pilates method on a very profound level which led into the completion of a POLESTAR Pilates mat training certification at Springs in Cologne.
Since 2014 I have been teaching these beneficial movement principles with great passion. My focus is on mobilization, strengthening, coordination, breathing and body awareness. My repertoire includes the classic Pilates exercises according to Joseph Pilates as well as elements from Dance and Yoga. These influences make my classes a flowing full-body workout.
The training sessions may include various props such as balls, rings and rollers and can be addressed to both beginners as well as advanced participants.
Through the years of teaching Pilates I have been working for various studios such as Springs, Neptunbad and Pusteblume in Cologne and KörperZeit, Tanzbasis and Volkshochschule Steglitz-Zehlendorf in Berlin. In the frame of corporate sports I have been teaching in companies such as Klosterfrau Healthcare Group, Nachbarschaftsheim Berlin – Schöneberg, Sauerbruch Hutton and Deutschlandfunk.
