The outstanding education I received at one of the best ballet institutions in the world was not confined to the deep knowledge of the Vaganova method, but enhanced with serious research on the history of ballet, theater, music and art. All this formed my genuine passion for art, history and philosophy. My interests and expertise have led to additional pursuits outside of the ballet class. I am the founder of Global Events, a non-profit organization established in 1995 in Antwerp, where I carried out approximately 40 social and cultural projects with friends and like-minded individuals.
