Nina has a background in political science and dance. After graduating from the Academy of Theatre and Dance in Amsterdam, she decided to explore the combination of social work and dance. This led her in 2012 to the Dutch refugee camps where she started to give voluntary dance workshops. That’s where the idea of Move Forward was born and in 2014 she officially started the Move Forward Foundation. Nina has been leading a team of 40 coaches and producers and has already reached out to 10,000 young people with traumas in five different countries. Her experience teaching over 1000 dance workshops to our target group made her able to run this foundation with a clear vision. After 12 years she felt it was time to give the lead to someone else, to let the foundation grow to another level.
