Spring awakening 🌼

Taking out my summer dresses because I’m fleeing the gray German winter for a few weeks, searching for an earlier spring in sunny California next week. LA I’m coming! And I’m super excited for new adventures and challenges waiting for me across the ocean. Ready to dance my a** off and take classes from people that I’ve been watching in dance videos since I was a little girl. I’m ready to struggle and learn but also ready for some vacation vibes which I haven’t had in… I don’t even know when. Excitement level is not describable at the moment! 🙌🏼✨

📸: .villinger_ thank you for this beautiful shooting, I had fun experimenting with you ✨

About a week ago I came back from my dance trip to London. 💃🏽🇬🇧 Ever since I’m trying to figure out how save up enough money to repeat this trip soon. By the way, my birthday is coming up soon. 😉 Kidding. (Or maybe not)

Anyways, I really had a wonderful time and I’m glad that thanks to I have some great pictures to remember it by. Thank you Mike! ✨

Thank you for the great shooting. I really enjoyed it, felt very comfortable and I’m very happy with the results.

Only two more „Zeppelin“ shows for this season left. ✨

This means that in a few days we will leave our little bubble which we’ve been living in for the past 3 months. It was a crazy and intense time with lots of laughs and cries and I’m very thankful for all the shows, memories and moments but most of all for everyone I got to work with. 🧀 So let’s enjoy the last two shows and hope that we will all be back on stage together soon 👯‍♀️💛

✨“Hier kommt Emmy, hier kommt Emmy - the queen of KaDeKo!”✨

One of my absolute favourite dance numbers in takes place at the KaDeKo (Kabarett der Komiker) a famous Cabaret Club in Berlin. It has all the glitter and feathers - it’s funny, a little sassy and of course a little sexy as well. However, if you want to find out more, you have to come and see the show. Here are my upcoming show dates as a dancer (all other days I’m also part of the Ensemble):

17.06.2022
19.06.2022
22.06.2022
25.06.2022

Kicking off rehearsal week like… 👣 Day 2 of rehearsals for the musical production „Zeppelin“ is almost done and it feels good to be back dancing all the numbers we’ve been performing on stage last year. Opening night is on the 19th of May and I’m super motivated for the upcoming time and excited to spend this summer at beautiful ✨🫶🏽

Happy International Dance Day 🫶🏽💛

Thank you dance for having the power to make me feel good while also making me feel sad sometimes, for always challenging me and making me want to grow and get better, for making me want to work on myself, for making me cry and making me laugh - sometimes even at the same time. When I look at it like that, dance is something like a really good friend to me and I’m very thankful for that.

Over the past few years dance also brought me to so many great places and introduced me to a lot of inspiring new people. I made so many great friendships and amazing experiences thanks to dance. As cheesy as it sounds, dance has been a very big part of my everyday life for the most of my life and I just really can’t imagine it being any other way.

So, happy International Dance Day - do yourself a favour, put on some music and just dance around your apartment for a few minutes today and feel what it does to you and your body and soul. 💛

Exactly one month from today we will be back on stage at with „Zeppelin“ the Musical. ✨

That leaves me with less than two more weeks in Hamburg before rehearsals start and I’m heading to Bavaria for most of the summer. I’m really looking forward to the time I’ll be spending with all these great people on stage but I also have to say I will miss Hamburg and I’m trying to enjoy my last few days here to the fullest. 💛

What a week - I just came back to Hamburg after a weekend in Munich and looking back at this past week it feels like so much more than just 7 days! 💫

Yesterday I took an amazing workshop with and in the beginning as well as in the end of the workshop we did some journaling. Ricky gave us a few questions to ask ourselves and two of them were „what are you grateful for today?“ and „what is your intention for today’s workshop?“.

I decided that my intention for the workshop was to really enjoy it. To be there, be in the moment and enjoy it. Lately I’ve been travelling so much, went from audition, to job, to workshop, to training, back to another audition and so on. During all of this I noticed that I sometimes forget to enjoy all these things and be grateful for all these opportunities and amazing experiences I can make right now. Instead I often put a lot of pressure on myself to impress here, improve there and so on, many of you probably know this feeling. So for yesterday’s workshop I decided to put away the pressure for these 4 hours and just enjoy it. It almost worked - there was a moment when we started to dance the choreography in smaller groups when the pressure came back but except for that it worked and it felt really good.

Pressure is not always a bad thing. I would even say I need pressure to perform well. However, sometimes it can also block me so it’s important to know how to switch it off when it’s not needed and give yourself room to simply enjoy. 💛💫

On the way back home to Hamburg after another weekend at dancing in „Beauty & the Beast“ ✨

When we first started rehearsing for this production, covid crossed our plans with a regional lockdown in some parts of Bavaria. This weekend it was kicking our asses again with lots of last minute cast changes due to illness. I’m always super impressed by all my amazing colleagues that have to spontaneously take on completely new roles and then kill it on stage! Already looking forward to our next show in April! ✨🙌🏼🌹

What a crazy weekend. Two auditions and one show. This meant traveling from Hamburg, to France to the south of Germany and back to Hamburg in 3 days. It also included an unplanned one hour taxi ride in France because of a canceled train, some disappointing moments and a lot of happy moments. Got to see a lot of people I haven’t seen in a while and met some new ones. Now I’m ready for rest and selfcare. 🧖🏽‍♀️💆🏻‍♀️

This photo is one of the results from last Sunday’s visit to Museum of Popcorn] with Alex] and .donarski where we had a very fun and colourful afternoon.

Sometimes things don’t go as planned and you have to just lean back and enjoy the ride 🌙 In my case the ride right now is quite literally a taxi ride through France but that’s a long story 🚕
Last weekend this cute little moon was where I chose to lean back and relax.

✨ Beauty & the Beast ✨

After we had to postpone our rehearsals for this beautiful musical by one week, we started in December with only one week left until opening night. After this one week we were surprised and proud of what we managed to create in this very limited period of time. Yesterday we had our third show and I can’t wait to be back on stage with this amazing cast in the beginning of February. It’s so much fun sharing the stage with you all. 💛

Swipe to see how I’m imagining myself being part of Christmas Spectacular Reindeer Dance 🦌✨👯‍♀️

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas time with your family and dearest (or deerest 🦌 kidding 🙃) and enjoy these days with them. I am very grateful that this year I got to spend a little more time with my family then the last years because of traveling a lot to the South of Germany for dancing at ✨💛 This picture was taken after one of our shows in my favourite costume of the show - I just love the sparkles ✨ And I love that this Theater and all the people there became so homey to me already 💛

Today exactly one year ago I had just arrived in Berlin an started the PDP29 dance program at Studio29 - Dance Studio Berlin]. 💛✨

Noticing this today I had to thoughts: 1. It’s super crazy how time flies, because it still feels like yesterday that I decided to focus on my dancing career and started taking specific steps and making plans.
2. So much has happened during this one year. I’ve changed and developed so much and found so much clarity. While last year I still felt so unsure and insecure about what to do and where to go, I now just 100% know that I’ve made the right decisions. Although I’m still very much finding my way and there’s still a lot of uncertainty, I feel that I took the right path because everything feels just right and I’m not scared anymore about what will happen but excited to see what’s coming next. ✨

Now, one year later, I’m in Berlin - not still but again. With only 4 weeks left at the I am already making some exciting new plans for afterwards and looking for the next challenge. ✨

Don’t know whether I was really feeling myself in this moment or whether I was really thinking about my lines in ‘s class at . Anyhow I had a very, very good time and was so happy that I finally got the opportunity to take classes from this very impressive woman and I hope that I will soon have that chance again! ✨
Today was audition day for me and I was cut after the first round because of my hight. Things like that are hard to digest, especially when you were actually pretty proud of your performance but this is how it often works with dance jobs. And although of course my disappointment was big, I am still proud of myself because of how I handled the entire audition situation and about the fact that I know I gave my best and I can’t change anything about the reason why I didn’t make it further than the first round today. That’s also a thing you have to learn and to accept. It’s all a process and I’m learning everyday. ✨
