PEDAGOGIC

Dance Education & Pedagogical Practice

I have extensive experience working within dance education across a wide range of contexts and with participants of different ages, including children, adolescents and adults. My pedagogical work spans private dance schools, the Swedish community arts school system (Kulturskolan), self-organised workshops, and higher education. My approach is grounded in inclusivity, embodied learning and responsiveness to diverse social and educational settings.

Since 2008, I have been working as a Dance Pedagogue at Järfälla Kulturskola, a community arts school for children, youth and young adults. The role includes planning and delivering dance education, programme development, interdisciplinary collaboration, outreach activities and advocacy for accessibility within the arts.
