Artist and dancer. Born in Slovenia, Jerneja earned a bachelor's degree in contemporary dance at the BCDA in Budapest, Hungary, and continued her education at the vocational schools for physiotherapy and occupational therapy in Bad Lauterberg, Germany. She is currently enrolled in the first year of the International Master's Program in Cultural Industries and Arts Management in Rotterdam. Since 2019 she has worked for various dance artists and companies and was website manager for Dance Masterclass Filmproduktion, based in Berlin. She has been a member of the AKS network since May 2023. Since 2016 and until today, she has been working in Brussels with the MELTING POT dance practice, as a teacher and performer in different activities and international dance events, with the idea of establishing a place for dance pieces through dance events, based on the redefinition of the concept of "contemporary dance" by opening a dialog between different dance performances and self-taught dancers.

ANTANZEN is an open training for non-professionals with the aim to get to know and try out various styles and dance techniques - from classical ballet, voguing, house to contemporary dance. It is aimed at adults who are interested in experiencing dance for themselves, consciously training their bodies, and exploring new approaches to movement. No pre-registration or prior dance experience is required. It takes place once a month at the Staatstheater Wiesbaden, Staatstheater Darmstadt and from January 2023 at the Künstler*innenhaus Mousonturm. The ANTANZEN format is carried out in collaboration with dance teachers from the region and the national and international network of alumni of the Master's degree program in Contemporary Dance Education (MA CoDE) at the Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts (HfMDK).
