Beatriz Ortega

Beatriz Ortega Lobato Fernandes is dedicated to the growth and development of the child and the adult as complete beings. Captivated by any form of artistic expression as a way of participating in the world, dance has always accompanied her throughout her life up to the present moment.

She began her journey with ballet, later introduced belly dance and hip-hop, and lastly started practising contemporary dance. She is currently finishing her specialisation and dance teacher training through a degree in Dance at the Faculty of Human Kinetics.

During her journey she passed through several different spaces as a student, such as the Ginásio Clube Português, Jazzy, Oeiras Dance Academy, Companhia Instável, among others. Along this path she encountered various teachers who inspired her, namely: Filipa Neuparth, Piny, Leo, Liliana Garcia, Cristina Planas Leitão, João Cabaça, Catarina Ribeiro, Raquel Fernandes, Renato Gomes, Roman Vassiliev, Diana Seabra, Vasco Alves, among others.

Dance in his/her eyes is one of the many ways to feel good in life, to cooperate with the world and with others, to practise and show flexibility and creativity…all in a fun way.
