Area of expertise

Arts

Dancer and graduate of the Dancer–Choreographer program at the University of Humanities and Economics in Łódź, she has collaborated with renowned dancers and choreographers from around the world and participated in numerous artistic projects and dance workshops aimed at refining her technique. She gained international experience, among others, at APAD Corso Professionale in Modena and at the Limón Institute in New York – one of the most important centers for contemporary dance training worldwide. Beyond dance, she draws inspiration from travel and exploring new cultures, which she considers a vital source of creative input. She places strong emphasis on personal development and continuously broadening her perspective through new experiences.

Thanks to the scholarship, she was able to continue her training in an international environment. In December 2025, she became the first Polish dancer to complete the prestigious Limón Professional Training Program in New York, while also developing her skills at Steps on Broadway and Broadway Dance Center and participating in workshops organized by, among others, (All)Ways Dance Company. She performed there, among others, in the social project Rhapsody with Keigwin + Company, and danced the piece “Trio” from José Limón’s Psalm at The Joyce Theater. After returning to Europe, she took part in international workshops with Ocram Dance Movement in Catania and performed in Sasha Waltz’s In C at Radialsystem in Berlin. Through mentoring, she also began to develop a deeper reflection on dance, which she plans to expand further through an upcoming publication.

Beyond her artistic work, she is socially engaged – she was a scout, collaborated with the Society of Friends of Children, worked with the Polish Red Cross, and participated in charitable initiatives supporting children and local communities. During her stay in New York, she completed an artistic volunteer program at The Joyce Theater, and she has recently begun collaborating with the “Polki Mogą Wszystko” Foundation, which supports women and children in difficult life situations as well as children in foster care. In the future, she aims to use her experience to support young people with more challenging backgrounds, showing that passion and determination can open the path to achieving their dreams.
