About us
Although there are hundreds of dance studios, dance experiences are made by people, and each of us has a different vision of what is important when teaching this beautiful technique.
I want to tell you then that for me, dance is not only about aesthetics, but about sensitive exploration and bodily relearning.
I know these two concepts may sound difficult to understand, but I promise you that once you start moving, it will all make sense.
That is why I want to invite you to experience it just as I have done for more than 25 years.
Because we all can and deserve to dance!
FOUNDRESS
Camila Araya
My name isCamila Araya, founder ofBerlin Dance, originally from the city of Santiago, Chile. My formal studies in dance originate at the Universidad Academia de Humanismo Cristiano, Chile. Qualifying as a pedagogue and performer in Dance, and then completing a Diploma as a Contemporary Dancer at the Berlin Dance Institute, Germany.
Since I was a child, dance has been the driving force of my life. I was always a very restless girl, and at the same time very awake, questioning and sensitive Why am I telling you this?
Well, because it wasn't until I found dance that my personality found its place. This doesn't mean you have to be like me to enjoy dance. If not, quite the opposite, that is the wonder of this discipline. That all of us with our differences can find our place and accept ourselves as we are. Art is the ideal space to know ourselves better.
