Claudia started her professional career as a dancer with different companies in Europe. Her main engagement was as a fulltime dancer at Ballet Preljocaj being actively part of most creations of Angelin Preljocaj and dancing all main roles in his repertory.
After a successful career as a dancer with Ballet Preljocaj, she continued her career as a Rehearsaldirector, assisting Angelin Preljocaj with new creations and was responsible for the artistic development of the dancers of his company and for the preparation of the creations going on tour. Since 2011 she works as a freelance Rehearsaldirector for Angelin Preljocaj and other choreographers.
Due to many years of experience and the successful implementation of various projects, Claudia has developed qualities that are also appreciated by international dance companies such as Staatsballett Berlin, Teatro dell’Opera di Roma, Teatro alla Scala and professional dance schools. There are invitations as a guest teacher for coaching and workshops.
In September 2020 Claudia will be a certified gyrotonic teacher.
