My creative works require a classical background. I blend ballet with modern vocabulary and my own approach to dance when choreographing a piece. When approaching each of my works , the fundamental importance is to bring the best qualities out of each dancer, demonstrating their unique personalities and showcasing their own strengths and abilities within my style.

Special solo created for the current  Norwegian National Ballet principale  Yolanda Correa

7:1 is inspired by a unforgettable football game during the World Cup in Brazil.  By one goal to seven, the football nation of Brazil lost to Germany. A day that both nations won’t forget. A day which the brazilian nation woke up full of dreams and had they hearts broken but probably ended there day full of hope for the future.

Waltz for K was commissioned by the legendary Birgit Keil for her last Ballet Gala as director in Karlsruhe . It was the end of a era. Pure elegance and class on stage.

Sergei Rachmaninov’s second Piano Concerto is separated in three parts. Rachmaninov 2.3 is the third part. You can expect this piece to bring ballet at it's purest and exciting form. Hopefully in the future this will become a trilogy ballet with Rachmaninov 2.1 and 2.2.

Variations created for Balkya Zhanburvhinova (Staatsballett Karlsruhe) ,  Ioanna Avraam (Wienerstaatsballett), Aurora Dickie (Staatsballett Berlin), Jessica Fyfe (Ballet du Capitole)

Pas de Deux created for the dancers of Gauthier Dance

Dualidade was fully created during  the pandemic only through Zoom meetings. A union of two choreographers with two different dance styles sharing the same passion.

Stars is a piece inspired by the feminine beauty combined with a passion for musicals and Hollywood movies. 

Two dancers that couldn’t wait to be back on stage after being trapped  at home for so long due to the Pandemic.

A piece created for the Ballet X Schwerin
