As a young dance teacher and also as the owner of my danceschool, I really thought that my success would come from professional knowledge or ranking at the European or World Championships. But in the end it turned out not to be about that at all! It was about connecting people with their authenticity and from there in essential connection with others. This purpose became such a priority that at one point I even sold my dance school. I started studying emotional intelligence focused on the role of dance on the emotional development of people and especially in teams. That became my new life and the DanceScan plays an important role in it. To my surprise, I was soon invited into the international business community and also to organizations in the non-profit sector, NGOs and the public domain. There I was asked to lead the workshops in three languages: Dutch, English and German.
