My dance journey began in 2007 in the coastal city of Burgas, where I relished my school years, which felt more like scenes from a Step Up movie set. From a young age, I ventured through various dance genres, including Contemporary, Ballet, Afro, and, of course, my ultimate companion, Hip-hop. While I lingered on Hip-hop, I also explored different styles of Street Dance such as Locking, Popping, Krump, and later, House Dance.When the time came for me to embark on the path of personal growth, it led me to Sofia. There, alongside a part of my Burgas dance family, we founded Skywalkers - a dance crew that was about to chart unexpected trajectories in my dance journey.

Over the years, I've worked on a myriad of projects, both with Skywalkers and as an independent dancer. Some of the brands I've had the immense pleasure of collaborating with in advertising campaigns and events include names like Coca Cola, Ikea, Adidas, Crooks & Castles, Fashion Days, Paradise Center, IQUOS, Nestle, and more. I've also had the pleasure of participating in two full-length musical films, namely "I've Never Been To New York" and "The Land Of Dreams." Some of the artists whose music videos and stage performances I've had the opportunity to be a part of include Raffi, Grafa, V:RGO, Dara, Geri Nikol, Mihaela Marinova, Boro Purvi, Nicka, and others.

However, I did not limit my dance development to Bulgaria. Important choices led me to the opportunity to teach in three of the largest dance studios in Israel for six months. I combined my regular classes there with one-time workshops in many other studios across the country. Today, I primarily focus on choreography, but I don't stop my active development as a dancer because I believe that I cannot be full-fledged in my passion if I neglect one of these two aspects. Being full-fledged is my primary mission, as it allows my creativity to be expressed in the most natural and ever-evolving form possible.
