Hi. I'm Ivy!
I am a committed dancer, personal trainer and movement practitioner. I give regular dance and movement classes in Amsterdam. Beyond strictly dancing, my goal is to deepen people’s movement capabilities and assist them in building a strong, flexible and healthy body.

Upcoming Classes
ÈÉMI
This workshop/lab invites participants to explore the intersections of breath, body, and memory as pathways for both individual and collective healing. Drawing from ÈÉMI (Yoruba for breath) and the concept of the body as archive, participants engage in practices that uncover embodied memory, awaken presence, and nurture resilience. Through breathwork, sound, and improvisational movement, the body becomes an archive, a site of possibility and artistic expression — a living landscape where culture, history, and healing converge
Move to Groove Course
MOVE TO GROOVE fuses traditional movement practices - biomechanics, mobility, strength, with rhythm and musicality. It’s about understanding your body, making it strong, agile, and reliable, while deepening your connection to music.
In this 5-week course we will zoom specifically into Rhythmicality, Groove, and Flow, exploring how to embody music more fully. Through focused practice in body isolations and coordination, you’ll learn to:
- Enhance your sense of timing and rhythm.
- Develop an authentic groove.
- Connect movement to musical flow.
- Build control and precision
By the end of the course, you won't be perfect yet (sorry ;) ) but you'll have plenty of tools on how to expand your ability to express music through your body with freedom and clarity.
