Education

About me

Born and raised in Spain until 2012 Susana started her dance career as a ballet dancer performing with the Cuban National Ballet and Carmen Roche Ballet in Madrid.

During her studies she felt frustrated with some of her instructors while others made it very easy to progress and get stronger on the dancefloor. Susana understood that being able to teach was not about mastering her craft but about understanding how the brain and learning process occurs for different types of students. That's why she combined her dance studies with a degree in Education, specialised in teaching Physical Education (Complutense University of Madrid) making her a dance teacher that not only knows what she is teaching but how to teach it and how to fully structure a course for best results and zero injuries. She has also done specific training at the Polytechnic University of Madrid for the prevention and diagnosis of injuries with Thermography. Upon finishing her studies she was invited to the Martha Graham School in New York City for a 2 year intensive training, and where she also worked as a Stage Manager.

Her professional path has gone through classical ballet companies, physical theatre, contemporary dance companies, and the ladies styling company The Solettes in New York City where she was introduced to Zouk and Bachata. Nowadays she works as a choreographer for film, photo, fashion and tv commercials. All in the meantime she works as a private instructor at her own studio and in the brand new UK Dance Connexion school in London, UK.
