Artistic career

"Dance is movement, passion, language, ... and for me the most beautiful way to get in touch with yourself and with others."

Daniela Niemietz is a dancer and choreographer from Hannover, Germany. Since the age of two, movement to music has been an integral part of her life. She has always been curious to get to know and explore other dance genres and movement arts besides classical ballet. Thus, she began with jazz, Irish and modern dance as a child in Hildesheim. She regularly exchanged ideas with dancers from other disciplines. Especially the contact to oriental dance and contemporary dance fusions impressed and fascinated her.

Later she devoted herself intensively to the Japanese art of movement Aikido and began to train daily. 2009 she started her studies of special education in Oldenburg and she devoted herself more to dance again. Through Oriental Dance and Contemporary Dance she discovered her great love for contemporary dance fusions such as FatChanceBellydance®Style, Flamenco Dialect and Fusion Style. In addition to classical ballet, her daily training as well as numerous workshops and private lessons enabled her to receive comprehensive training in dance disciplines outside of the mainstream.

Daniela has been on stage since early childhood. She particularly enjoys the close contact to the audience and the interaction with other artists. In addition to national and international engagements, she can be seen on various stages in Hannover. She has danced with the movement choir of the Hanover State Opera, at the Herrenhausen Garden Theater, at the Orangery and at the Herrenhausen Art Festival, among others. Since 2022 she is part of the ensemble Concierto Ibérico under the direction of Lea Suter and Juan González Martínez.

In her solo and choreographic works, she combines numerous genres into a unique fusion. Her main concern is to reach the audience with suitable language of movement - finding a language to tell a story for which there are no words.
