Dancer Patricia von Essen presents her Choreography of African Dance, music commissioned from K-Gi Scarlett.

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.
