Georgiana Muja
Dance Coach
Hi, my name is Georgiana and I’m a professional dancer and teacher. I developed this hobby since I was young and have been dancing for 10 years already. But this hobby became my life when I reached 3rd place in the nationals, 3 times in a row in my home nation of Romania. I hope my passion will inspire many people and give them the opportunity to learn. See you all on the dance floor! 🙂
