Pinja has been dancing a wide variety of genres since she was a child, but she has focused her studies on Bachata and has actively trained abroad under the world’s top Bachata dancers to improve her skills. Her love for the dance and the music itself has also led her to work as a Bachata DJ both in Finland and occasionally abroad.
Since 2015, Pinja has worked as a freelance dance and group training instructor throughout Finland and has also taught at numerous events and festivals abroad. Over the years, she has also organized several dance events in the Helsinki metropolitan area, with her best-known project being the collaborative event Helsinki Bachata Blast. Currently, Pinja teaches regularly in Helsinki, Turku, and Kouvola. She is a trained physical therapist, so her classes focus heavily on movement that is natural to the body and beneficial to health.
In her classes, Pinja emphasizes the importance of mastering technique and performing movements safely, but she also values a lively atmosphere and a cheerful mood!
