Patricia von Essen a dancer in all genres with a heart-felt passion for African drums, beats and dance. Despite Patricia's German sounding family name, she has been born and raised in France, combining a heritage of a Finnish and an Italian family tree. After completing her initial dance education in Carcassonne,the journey of learning and self-teaching continued and is on-going. Patricia developed a deep interest in African dance and traveled to Burkina Faso, Niger and Benin to learn African dance from the roots. Patricia von Essen is a name well known in the Aude, where Patricia has made her home. She holds dance classes of all styles for children and adults. If a show for a birthday, or the Christmas Show of a village in the area is needed, with her "one woman show", Patricia entertains adults and children alike. Her versatile shows are highly energetic, filled with stories she tells on stage: a transformation from a cleaning woman to a ballerina; a classical interpretation of Cinderella; a full power step-dance section; the daily life of an African woman and a fist class hip-hop dance, to which she invites all to participate. As much as Patricia feels at home in all genres, there is a deep passion for African dance, and this is expressed in her latest show from the "Pat Collection". With the idea for her show, she commissioned the music from K-Gi Scarlett, a professional Songwriter and musician.
