Hello everyone,

My name is Florèn and I am the dance teacher of groups 2, 3 and 4 at S.D.V. Chassé. I am 22 years old and I live in Hengelo. I study at Saxion in order to become a school teacher.

When I was 8, I discovered dancing through "Just Dance", after which, I participated in various dance competitions and shows. When I was 11, I officially started dancing with a jazz group in Hengelo. After a while, I also picked up on modern dance and hip hop. When I was 16, I auditioned for the Hengelose revue, a theater show, where I still very much enjoy dancing in the show. Here we mainly do a lot of show dancing, which I absolutely love. But, I also really like urban and commercial dance.

At the age of 14, I assisted dance lessons, after which I started an urban group in Hengelo at the age of 16. This group eventually grew into 3 groups. When I was 17, I took over a jazz class, which now consists of 2 groups.
I also give workshops at primary schools and sports clubs and I coach starting dance teachers and assistants.

This year I can teach at Chassé again and I am really looking forward to the end result and seeing the members shine at the end of the year show.

Hey! I am Kim, 24 years old and currently teaching the beginners group together with Selena. I am currently working as e-learning developer at the radiopharmacies of GE HealthCare. I grew up in a small town in Friesland, where I started dance at the age of seven. What started with street dance, very quickly changed to jazz and modern. In 2017, I moved to Enschede to start studying, and ended up joining S.D.V. Chassé as a member to continue dancing. I fell in love with the association and was a member for six years, including a board year and six years in the promotion committee.

In 2023, I started teaching the beginners group with Selena! It is very fun to stand in front of the group and help everyone improve in their dancing. At the moment I am still dancing myself, and exploring the dance style contemporary, which is slowly becoming my favorite dance style. Though, I cannot let go of broadway jazz. Next to dancing I have a lot of different hobbys including drawing, photography, programming, and reading. And you can always ask me for a cup of tea!

Hello everyone,

I'm Selena Peters, a 23-year-old dance enthusiast, and this year, I'm thrilled to be co-teaching Group 1 alongside Kim. I grew up in a small village between Arnhem and Nijmegen in the Netherlands, and in 2019, I started studying Technical Medicine in Enschede. I began dancing when I was 8 years old with "gardedansen," a traditional dance performed during the Dutch Carnival, which I continued for 10 years. At the age of 16, I also started modern/jazz dance in a small studio in my hometown. I was inspired to explore this dance style after watching Dance Moms.

In my first year in Enschede, I wasn't sure which dance style I wanted to pursue. However, after seeing the Apollo dance show, I knew for sure that S.D.V. Chassé would be a perfect fit for me. Unfortunately, Covid came, so in my second year at the university, I finally started at Chassé.

A fun fact about me is that I am a "turner"; I do pirouettes all the time and everywhere, so much so that my father used to go completely crazy when I still lived at home. I use dance to express my feelings; when I am happy, I dance, and when I am stressed, I dance. I think I will never stop dancing.

I'm looking forward to a fantastic year of dance and good vibes!
