Jette is a dancer from Estonia whose dance journey started when she was 8 years old. After dipping her toes into different dance styles from ballet to folk and urban dance, she discovered social dancing in 2016 and fell in love. She enjoys Latin-American social dances such as Brazilian zouk, bachata, salsa and more, and keeps improving her technique in solo styles as well. She is inspired by artists who are not only good dancers but also good teachers.
Her main dance style is Brazilian zouk that she has been dancing for 8 years. She regularly visits international Brazilian zouk congresses all over Europe to improve, learn and practice with the best. For the fall season of 2020 she was invited to be an in-house dance instructor at Latin Passion studio in Tartu, Estonia, where she gave brazilian zouk ladies styling classes and also teaching bachata partnerwork. In 2021 January she was invited to give a workshop for an international online zouk ladies styling course alongside Larissa Almeida, Jade Rodrigues and Marissa Rivera. Currently she is giving regular dance classes at Bluebird studio in Tallinn, Estonia, including zouk ladies styling.
Dancing is her way of keeping her body active and she also loves the social aspect and the community feeling of it. When she is not dancing, she is writing for her dance blog or taking care of her home and mini-garden.
