Pinja has danced various dance styles since she was little, but it was bachata that ultimately captured her heart. She has concentrated on studying bachata and developed her skills by actively participating in the classes of the world’s top bachata dancers abroad.
Since 2015, Pinja has been working as an independent dance and sports instructor throughout Finland and has also taught at various events and festivals abroad. Currently, Pinja teaches regularly in Helsinki, Turku, and Kouvola.
In her classes, Pinja emphasizes the importance of understanding the right technique and the safety of movements, while of course not forgetting good rhythm and a joyful atmosphere either. As a trained physiotherapist, Pinja wants to focus on natural and healthy movement in her teaching.
Love for bachata and the music itself has led Pinja to also work as a bachata DJ both in her home country and occasionally outside of Finland. Over the years, Pinja has organized several dance events in the capital region, the most well-known project being the collaborative event Helsinki Bachata Blast.
