Manon Veenstra, a Dutch dancer, took her first dance class at a very young age, following the dream of her six-year-old self to become a professional dancer.

Along her journey, she trained at the Dutch National Ballet Academy, Codarts, and completed a Bachelor’s degree in Contemporary Dance at ZHdK Zurich, where she also interned with MN Dance Company in Nova Gorica.

For Manon, dancing is not only a passion but a way of life, something she could never imagine living without. What drives her most is the joy of telling stories and ideas through movement and working closely with music, which keeps her inspired and motivated to train every day.

Manon joined EDGE to continue growing as a dancer, creator, and person, valuing the company’s open and collaborative environment and wanting to give her very best to it.

Outside the studio, she enjoys creative and outdoor activities such as knitting, crocheting, geocaching, and learning to sew.
