Mirka has been dancing different dance styles for a long time. She started dancing at the age of seven with ballroom dancing and continued until her teenage years. She found dance again in 2010 and fell in love with latin dances, especially Cuban dances. Since then, Mirka has explored and danced many different styles.
As a teacher, Mirka is compelling and purposeful but still easy-going. There is always a cheerful and enthusiastic atmosphere in Mirka’s classes. For Mirka, the most important thing in teaching is the joy of dance, enjoying the music and her own movement, and pushing her own boundaries.
Mirka has been instructing various dance classes at Flama since 2018, and she currently leads three of Flama’s performing dance groups: Flama Crew, Flaming Firecrackers, and La Calentura.
