    About me

    Katka Derouet

    Hello!

    Dance has been with me all my life. From ballet, music and theatre I found my way to oriental dance more than 25 years ago — and it became not only my profession but, above all, a world that has never stopped fascinating me. Over the years I have danced, taught and created at home and abroad, won a competition in Cairo, stood on many stages and met countless dancers.

    But the most important thing stays the same for me: to pass dance on so that it is not merely a set of movements, but a way to music, to culture, to your own body and to an expression of your own.

    Today I put everything I have gathered along the way into my teaching — the experience of a dancer, a choreographer and a teacher, and of a woman who is still learning, still searching, and still letting dance surprise her.
