By trying out different dance styles in her childhood, Iris discovered her great passion for jazz and modern dance. After completing her dance education in Zurich, she continued her training in classical ballet, contemporary and modern dance in Paris and London. Since then she has been working as a freelance dancer, choreographer and as a dance teacher for children, teenagers and adults at various schools – including Tanzberufsschule Macciacchini. She is one of the founders of IriSerena Danse, an independent dance label based in Zurich and Lenzburg, choreographer and artistic director of Compagnie Amourdanse, a contemporary dance ensemble, and has been a long-time member of the dance & theatre collective oimoi.
