About
At Body Joy Studio, you move with awareness, joy and expression. In Pilates, Barre and Belly Dance, you work on strength, flexibility and body awareness in a way that suits your body.
Classes are taught in small groups of up to 10 participants. This allows room for personal attention, while you also experience the support, energy and warmth of moving together in a group.
My name is Jolanda. Drawing on many years of experience as a dancer and movement teacher, I guide you with care, encouragement and an accessible approach.
About Jolanda
As a child, dancing was what I loved most. I began with ballet and later decided to make dance my profession. That decision led me to the Rotterdam Dance Academy and Utrecht University, where I studied Theatre, Film and Television Studies, specialising in dance and dramaturgy. As a dancer, I performed in the Netherlands and abroad.
Since 2003, I have taught at my own dance studio. Over the years, I have had the pleasure of guiding many students and sharing my love of dance with them.
At Body Joy Studio, everything I have learned and experienced over the years comes together. Pilates, Barre and Belly Dance complement one another beautifully: Pilates builds strength and control, Barre brings energy and elegance, and Belly Dance invites expression, rhythm and freedom.
I look forward to welcoming you to the studio.
