Prior to dancing, Keren trained acting, swimming, and Karate. Following her formal dance education her interest in floor work and improvisation has led her to participating in several month-long intensives of Flying Low / Passing Through with the techniques’ inventor David Zambrano [PT 2019, GR 2019]. Besides performing herself, Keren also teaches on a professional level in companies and dance academies, often combining her knowledge of Flying Low with more explosive and acrobatic movement.
