biography
franziska is founder of holistic ballet® and creator of the holistic ballet dvd series. born in berlin, former east germany, franziska graduated from the state ballet school berlin. she danced with the german state opera berlin (today’s staatsballet berlin), where she performed soloist and principal roles, and with the peter schaufuss ballet in denmark. in 1998, franziska moved to london as a freelance artist and gradually transitioned from being an active dancer to being a ballet teacher, whilst also training as a gyrotonic®, pilates, and yoga instructor. she followed invitations to guest-teach in india and european dance companies like random dance, richard alston, ballet prejlocaj, and others. today, franziska teaches at pineapple dance studios and from her studio in east-london. Franziska further trained as a hypnotherapist to help people who suffer from stage-fright, anxiety, and their resulting behaviours. holistic ballet Franziska teaches a dynamic fusion of pilates, yoga, and functional anatomy, specially crafted for dancers who are interested in exploring gravity, strength, softness, and mind-body connection. while we use the essence of pilates, we seamlessly intertwine it with the fluidity of yoga and the knowledge of anatomy. the exercises and flowing sequences aim to sculpt balanced strength, enhance flexibility, release tension, mobilise joints, explore the full range of spine movements, and fortify your core and back.
