Meet Your Educator - Coach - Dance artist : Pirita Tuisku
For as long as I can remember, dance has been my language, my passion, and my way of connecting with the world. I started dancing at just three years old, and over the years, it has taken me across different countries, immersing me in various cultures and styles. My training spans Contemporary Dance, Jazz, Modern techniques, Tap, Latin, and urban styles, shaping my perspective on movement and expression.
But dance hasn’t always been easy. Like many, I’ve faced the challenges of balancing a busy life, overcoming injuries, and adapting to change. When I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, I had to find a new way to keep dancing—to move with my body, rather than against it. Whether I’m performing, teaching, or coaching, my mission remains the same: to bring people closer to dance in a way that feels authentic and empowering.
From the very start of my career, I’ve been passionate about bringing people together through dance and cultural exchange. In my dance school in Finland, I took my dancers abroad to experience movement in new places. Even after moving to Scotland, I continued to foster that sense of connection, bringing people together through dance.
In 2022, when our Groove Back program turned two years old, we launched our first Dance Booster Bootcamp in Rovaniemi. In 2023, we brought it to Edinburgh. And I made a promise—when Groove Back reaches five years, we will celebrate with a retreat in South Africa.
✨ And here we are. ✨
South Africa is a place that holds a deep, personal meaning for me, and I can't wait to share what I love about it with you. This retreat is more than just a gathering—it's a culmination of years of passion, resilience, and a belief that dance has the power to bring people together, across borders, backgrounds, and life experiences.
So let’s dance, connect, and celebrate. 💃🌍
Pirita believes in creating a sustainable, step-by-step action plan tailored to each individual's needs and goals. Everybody can dance, they just need to find the best way for them. Thats where her slogan comes from, there are no mistakes, there are only good solos.
Her goal is to keep dancing until she's 100 years old and to help others achieve the same lifelong passion for dance. And hopes to give all that same change as well, because Dance is best medicine
