Céline (she/her) is a dancer, teacher, and choreographer based in Zurich. Her work is rooted in a deep curiosity about the body in movement - in artistic, training, and functional contexts. 

​​

Céline began her dance training in ballet with Kim White and performed in professional productions for over 10 years with the Ballet Riviera at the Théâtre de Vevey, Switzerland. She went on to study Neuroscience & Behaviour at Mount Holyoke College in the US where she continued to perform along the East Coast in celebrated venues such as at the John. F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, D.C., Center for Performance Research, NY, and Green Street Studios, MA. 

 

Upon her return to Europe, Céline studied at the Nuova Officina della Danza on scholarship in Turin, where she delved into the work of many contemporary artists and their developing practices. Her interests further evolved to improvisation and she has been performing in galleries and exhibitions across Europe in collaboration with installation artist Liang Jung Chen, visual and material artist Jennifer Tee, poet Jane Lewty, dance artists Miri Lee & David Kam, and neuroscientist Jasmine Smith. 

 

Céline found an unexpected calling in teaching, and has been teaching and choreographing for pre-professional and professional dancers in London since January 2018. She was Associate Choreographer and Director of the Lower School at Danceworks Ballet Academy, Director of Contemporary Arts Project, and Director of the Junior Programme at Ballet Arts Project. She has choreographed for a myriad of projects in London and Europe ranging from short films and fashion shows to proscenium stage productions. 

 

Céline continues her daily movement and teaching research through the Gaga Movement Language. She trained with the Gaga Teacher Training programme in Tel-Aviv, Israel under the artistic direction of Bosmat Nossan & Ohad Naharin and became a certified Gaga teacher in September 2021. She teaches regularly for dance companies, professional dance students, and dance lovers alike.

​

More recently Céline completed the rigorous BASI Pilates Comprehensive Teacher Training Certification in St. Gallen with Natascha Eyber, Lia Fasoulaki, and Carolina Sobotka. She now teaches at several studios around Zurich, continuing to share her passion for movement with people from all walks of life.
