Working with Competitive Ballroom Dancers

Since Maja started Latin dancing herself it always has been her interest to explore how these different dance forms can affect each other.
2012 she initiated the pedagogical research project Latin Meets Contemporary where she investigated how competitive ballroom dancers could benefit from different aspects of contemporary dance training.

Since then she is giving courses and classes for different institutions from Dancesport, such as:

  • Dance Sport School, Vienna
  • TSK Juventus, Vienna
  • TSK Schwarz-Weiß, Vienna
