My mission is to bring the training methods of professional dancers closer to the people, as I believe the benefits of ballet on the human body are limitless.

Hi there! I am excited to share with you the journey that led me to create this outstanding fitness program and platform.
My passion for ballet began at the young age of five and continued to grow as I trained professionally over the years. From 2007 to 2014, I participated annually in competitions, which further fueled my love for dance.
In 2012, I was given the opportunity to dance for the National Opera of Cluj-Napoca, while still being a high-school student, which has been a dream come true. Being part of a professional ballet company and training alongside the people I admired for so long was an incredible experience. I honed my skills, developed as a professional, and gained invaluable experience while I was also doing my University studies at the Music Academy ~ Conservatory in Cluj.
In 2019, I embarked on a German cruise ship, TUI Cruises - Mein Schiff, to broaden my horizons, dance skills and knowledge and worked as a professional dancer and directing-coach, which has been an unforgettable life experience.
It was during the pandemic that I discovered my true passion for inspiring people to stay active and healthy, leading me to become a certified personal trainer, and create BalleTonic.
I moved to Berlin in 2020, where I continued to develop BalleTonic while also learning a new language, and continuing teaching Ballet, Jazz, Pilates, Barre, Fitness and Personal Training.
I'm a firm believer that ballet is not only a beautiful art form, but also has many physical, mental, and emotional benefits. Through my work with BalleTonic, I hope to create a virtual home for women, where they can improve their physical and mental fitness, while getting in touch with their own femininity, exploring the art and benefits of ballet combined with fitness, and discover their own version of strength and beauty in a fun and effective way.
I want every woman to feel strong, confident and beautiful in her own skin while experiencing the joy of movement and the wonderful benefits of ballet!
