Among many other hobbies and sports - sword fighting, to name just one - Tina has been interested in dance from an early age. Ballet lessons as a child were followed by several years of ballroom and Latin American dance classes from the age of 16, and she has never completely given up this passion.

After moving to Vienna for some time for work reasons, she became part of a cheerleading team and took on the role of base. A strenuous, acrobatic sport where perfect harmony between the partners is absolutely crucial.

Back in Upper Austria, she missed the regular training and the cohesion within a group, and so she was very happy to discover FCBD® for herself during Julia's first beginners' course. From then on, there was really no turning back and Tina ambitiously works on expanding her skills. She was able to participate in her first performances on- and offline in 2021. In addition to training with Anam Damhsa, she soon attended online courses with Gudrun Herold on a regular basis and became a member of FCBDu.

Tina also quickly seized the opportunity to learn from top trainers at international dance festivals and to take part in performance intensives. She was also able to try out a wide variety of props and developed a special love for sabres, skirts and baskets, thanks to Melody Melody Bustillos, Virginie Violett, Gudrun Herold, Philipa Moirai, Lisa Allred and Eleen Kim.

In autumn 2023, Tina successfully completed her General Skills Training and the following summer began to slowly build up her own group of students in Linz, which enabled us to improve our course offerings both geographically and in terms of time.
