Bio
Based in the Madrid mountains. I started out as an event DJ, and in 2015, when I discovered Ecstatic Dance while living in Ibiza and later in Madrid, a love story began. After ten years of facilitating ED sessions, it was in 2026 that I decided to share this passion and create a training program for facilitators and DJs. My passion is teaching and helping to spread the word so that thesespaces continue to grow more and more.
