Instruktör
Sophie was born and raised in the Amsterdam and has tried many different dance styles from a young age, among which ballet, belly dance, and hip-hop.
Her love for Latin dance begun in 2012 starting with Zumba and Latin Mix. She was introduced to traditional bachata during an internship in the Dominican Republic and from then on she decided to focus on bachata (traditional and sensual), salsa and kizomba.
She came to Sweden in 2021 for a Masters’ program in Archaeology at the University of Uppsala, but continued dancing beside her studies. She started teaching bachata in 2022 and took part in several performances.
Bachata is her favourite dance style, but she continues to be inspired by other dance styles, both couples dance as well as solo. During classes she likes to put extra focus on bodymovents/isolations and leading/following technique. The students are a huge motivator for Sophie and her priorities are to above all share the joy and happiness that dance can bring to one's life.
