Carsta has lived the passion for Double Role from the very beginning of her dancing and teaching career.
In her classes, the focus is always on having fun while dancing and learning. Freedom, creativity, comfortable dancing, and harmonious and respectful interaction are at the core.
Old movement patterns are consciously 'crashed,' rewritten, or reinterpreted.
In this way, all dancers are encouraged to find their path and to understand dance as a living and devolving language.
