| Synopsis |
About 【KATERINA JOUMANA】
performing artist, teacher, choreographer, dance company owner/director.
Katerina started her dance education at the age of 5 with classical ballet. Having finished ballet school in her home town of Baikonur, Kasakhstan, she moved to Moscow, Russia, where she had worked for several state dance companies and at the same time obtained a master's degree at university.
Committed to life-long learning, Katerina continued to perfect her ballet technique over the years, extensively studied modern/contemporary dance and bodywork (the Feldenkrais method of somatic education).
Having fallen in love with Oriental/Middle-Eastern dance in 2004, Katerina devoted her career to this art form, has won several international dance competitions and founded her dance company "Joumana Dance Show", which has been performing to ever increasing audiences for more than 10 years now, based in two world capitals – Moscow/Russia and Vienna/Austria.
Having performed solo and with the company on four continents, Katerina relies on the traditional Middle-eastern dance and musical forms. However at the same time she gives them a contemporary touch, mixing the traditional with contemporary, classical with expressive show styles, working with various musicians and creating inspiring choreographies. She sees oriental dance as an art form, sending the message of not only beauty and elegance, but also acceptance, appreciation of various cultures, being open to new creative ideas and finding one's true potential.
Katerina currently resides in Vienna, Austria, where she teaches classical ballet and middle-eastern dance to the new generations of dancers. She enjoys the transformative effect of dance on her students and continuing to learn from them. She manages and choreographs for her dance company, as well as travels extensively to teach and perform in various countries. |
