Anita Eva Drotos
Anita Eva Drotos discovered her passion for movement at six years old through gymnastics and continued through sports school. Later, she found professional folk dancing and soccer, but it wasn't until moving to Canada that she reconnected with dance and began studying samba at the Dance Migration Company from 2016-2019. During this time, she performed at various events and also worked as a personal trainer and dance assistant.
For Anita, dance is about self-expression, self-realization, and reinvention. It allows her to connect with her divine feminine energy, embracing softness, strength, sensuality, and authenticity. Stepping on stage transforms her, helping her grow in confidence and letting her true self shine. She's drawn to the transformative power of dance, and she's constantly seeking new ways to learn, perform, and evolve as a dancer.
