Jette is a dancer from Estonia whose dance journey started already when she was 8 years old. After dipping her toes into many different dance styles from ballet to folk and hip-hop, she discovered social dancing in 2016 and fell in love. She enjoys Latin-American social dances like bachata and salsa but is especially passionate about Brazilian dances like samba de gafieira and Brazilian zouk. In 2024 spring she even travelled to Brazil and had a chance to take classes from local teachers there.
Dancing is her preferred way of keeping her body active and healthy and she also enjoys the social aspect and the community of social dancing. She has been teaching in-person and online dance classes and workshops since 2019, focusing mostly on ladies styling classes. Check out the types of classes she is offering now or find out what are other ways to work with her. When she is not dancing or teaching dance, she is writing for her dance blog or taking care of her home and garden.
