About me
My name is Marie-Louise Hertog, I am a 28-year-old dancer from The Netherlands and I have lived and worked as in Germany for over 7 years now. As much as I love to perform, I enjoy being in the studio, creating, learning and exploring movement, getting inspired by my colleagues and the amazing choreographers that I have been lucky to meet. I have a big passion for improvisation and recently started sharing short videos of my practice on social media. If you are interested in collaborating, feel free to contact me! Right now, this is my fifth year working with MiR Dance Company, led by Giuseppe Spota, based in the beautiful Musiktheater im Revier in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.
