Ballet has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. From the moment I first stood at the barre, I knew this artform would shape the way I move through the world — on stage and beyond.
I trained at the Dutch National Ballet Academy under Ernst Meisner, with classical guidance from Grigori Tchitcherine. These years gave me the technique, discipline, and foundation that now support every role I step into.
Since 2022, I’ve danced as a demi-soloist with the Slovak National Ballet in Bratislava. I’ve had the privilege to perform roles that shaped my understanding of storytelling through movement — from Lensky in Onegin, to the peasant pas de deux in Giselle, to dancing in Nureyev’s Swan Lake.
In 2023, I was honored to receive 1st place at the Budapest Ballet Grand Prix in the pas de deux category — a moment of recognition for the hard work and dedication I’ve poured into this craft.
Today, dance continues to shape my artistic practice in new ways. Through StudioScheele, I combine my background in ballet with visual storytelling, digital art, and live performance. I believe the body holds stories no words can fully capture — and I hope to keep exploring that, both on stage and on screen.
