ABOUT CHARDA

My name is Charda Stuivenberg, fully (FDO-WDC) certificated danceteacher and I happily teach Ballroom Dancing in and around Amsterdam. Next to years of having danced national and international competitions myself, I was actually a secondary school teacher for years. About both of these things I have always been extremely passionate. I feel very fortunate to now be able to combine my two great loves; teaching and dancing! The intrinsic motivation to support other people in achieving their goals and dreams, feels like part of my DNA. From a very young age, I was already coaching and teaching. Aside from this, I am also a certified Mindfulness Trainer and I work as an Experience Expert trainer at HVO-Querido. At that job I facilitate several trainings in the area of Recovery. For me, the most beautiful thing about that is that we work from a base of equality. We believe in the fact that the best way to support someone, is by believing in their strengths and qualities and standing beside someone while they are finding them. As a danceteacher I try to implement this in my coaching and training, which leads to the fact that people tend to feel safe in my groups and that they can be themselves. This creates an optimal environment to grow and acquire more self-confidence; something I find very important.
