I was six when I took my first dance class — and I knew straight away it would never be just a hobby. Dance became part of who I am. A long and successful fifteen-year professional career only confirmed it: my life would be built around the dance floor.

When I started teaching, I discovered that knowing dance wasn’t enough. Every student learns, hears and feels differently. So I studied psychology — and it has shaped my teaching more than any title I ever won. For more than twenty years I’ve taught children and adults, and more than 900 students across the UAE, Asia, Europe and the US have shown me the same truth: psychology and dance go hand in hand, and dance can transform a life.

Then it was time to build a home for that mission. I founded Capital Dance Center — a hub for like-minded people, and for students who didn’t yet know how much their life could change. Across two locations, in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, I stayed on the floor myself: teaching, travelling and competing with my ProAm partners, while mentoring other studio owners on how to grow — without ever losing integrity or treating students as numbers.

After eight successful years, I sold the studio and became a citizen of the world. That’s why this platform exists: so I can share what I know wherever you are — and keep travelling the globe to teach in person.
