August 2022 — After combining a career as a dancer and a choreographer for seventeen years, I’ve decided to quit dancing and focus on a full-time career as a choreographer. In the past year, I’ve been approached by many ballet directors and I look forward to bringing my work to more international stages. I will also remain a choreographer with Dutch National Ballet.

September 2020 — My latest choreography Reset premiered at Dutch National Ballet, a group work for ten dancers. I’m very excited about the amazing reviews in Dance Europe magazine, Volkskrant and NRC Handelsblad.
