My name is Dave Lankhorst. I started dancing in 2006 at the Vlaardingse Ballet Akademie
and was accepted at Codarts in 2010. After graduating in 2019, I decided to study at the
Zurich University of the Arts. During my studies, I performed and worked with worldrenowned
choreographers. In 2021, I secured an internship contract with Scapino Ballet
Rotterdam, where I had the opportunity to participate in big productions such as ""Oscar"" at
the Royal Theater Carré and as a guest dancer in the 2022 Christmas production of The
Dutch Don't Dance Division in The Hague. I am looking forward to what the future will
bring.

Respiration
«Breathing in, I calm my body. Breathing out, I smile. Dwelling in the present moment, I know this is a wonderful moment.» - Thich Nhat Hanh
As dancers, artists, but most importantly as human beings, breathing is a vital part of our lives. We can go for days without food, water or even sleep. But to be able to live, we can not go without oxygen. Breathing is more than a need, it can help relax, and benefits for the body and mental health. Our breathing is directly related to nature; it is a constant circular process. We as living beings breathe out, and in return we get our breath back from nature.
