Hi. I'm Verena.

I've been a dancer for 15 years. I love helping people find confidence and creativity in movement.

I'm also an artist. I believe self-connection and expression are our most powerful gifts.

My mission is simple: to help you express yourself unapologetically, embrace your individuality, and experience the joy of living authentically and mindfully through movement and rhythm.

Your movement, your way

Here's what makes Verena's movement classes unique...

No experience needed

Move authentically - no rules, just your expression

A spacious dance studio with large windows allowing plenty of natural light to pour in, casting shadows on the yellow floor. A lone dancer is practicing near the barre in the background. The room has exposed brick walls and industrial elements, including a large ventilation duct on the ceiling. Near the foreground, there is a table with signs, 'World's Best Student,' notebooks, a microphone, and several glasses. A few chairs are positioned to the side.
