DANCING

I am Anastasia Jansen. I am born in 2000. I am 20 years old. I dance for 12 years now. I started with theater on an early age. After a while I started have more interest in dancing. I started taking ballet classes when I was 9 years old on amateur level. After one year I decided that I want to take it more seriously so I auditioned for the pre education of ArtEZ (the orientation classes) and got accepted. After that I did the whole pre-education of ArtEZ. In 2018 I graduated from the pre-education and got accepted at Fontys HBO dance art in context. Now I am in the third year of Fontys dance art in Context.

REASON WHY I DANCE

My favorite dance style is Modern. My modern style is based on dynamical movement with power in combination with dance theater. I also love to choreograph. Dance is for me like an addiction. I love that it is every day so different and new. It is never boring! I find everyday new connections with the people and the space around me.
