Gaivilė
About
Teacher speaks: LT/EN
Gaivilė has been dancing her entire life. Her first class was ballet – there she learned to distinguish left from right, gained the basics, discipline, body control, and that delicate balance between softness and strength.
Growing up, she tried many dance styles until she finally discovered Dancehall dance and culture – it was like a breath of fresh air on a hot summer day in her life. Gaivilė has been dancing Dancehall for over 10 years. This style opened her way out of the grip of conservative everyday life to freedom, courage and self-confidence.
Along with dance, her relationship with herself changed - from self-criticism to self-love, from tension, running, and perfectionism to being in the moment and enjoying it.
Today, Gaivilė actively dances High Heels, Feminine Movement, Choreo, leads Dancehall and dance therapy trainings, practices Vinyasa, Yin and Hatha yoga, uses breathing techniques and meditation, is interested in self-development and wellness. All this complements her dance teaching: for her, not only technique is important, but also the human state, awareness and emotional release through movement.
Gaivilė has studied with many dance coaches in Lithuania and abroad, participating in trainings, seminars and camps. Her long-standing experience and constant interest in Dancehall culture have shaped her as a dancer and coach who values authenticity, body awareness and self-expression.
In her training, Gaivilė strives to create a safe, inspiring space where every woman can discover herself through dance – to reveal herself, become stronger, relax, and simply enjoy the process.
