Jazz dancer / choreographer / comedian / teacher / jazz lover
Eglė started her dancing journey at the age of 10 with folk and aerobics. At the age of 14 she discovered hip-hop culture. Teaching, training enormous hours and performing became part of her lifestyle. After graduating her way accidentally led her from hip-hop to vernacular jazz and lindy-hop. Since then Eglė quickly became part of swing community and never turned back.
Eglė is also well known as a performing artist, largely expressing herself in comedy and clowning. Audience control, theatrical skills, confidence on stage, openness to improvisation together with her life experience led to early directing, creating lindy-hop shows in theatre. Some of them are first ones in Lithuania.
Combining dancing and theatre worlds makes her a true creator. Her persistent and conscious trainings are dedicated to transforming steps into stories and emotions into motions.
