He has also choreographed for various dance schools throughout Nordrhein Westfahlen.
Herbert has taught throughout the central Germany area—primarily in Cologne and Düsseldorf. His main teaching styles are the Martha Graham as well as Lester Horton techniques. He believes in instilling a strong core-based technique to encourage a dancer to pursue many different styles an to continue dancing for many years without injury.
Before relocating to Bristol with his partner, he was and still is performing with a performance art group in Cologne, Düsseldorf and Berlin, Germany.

About the tutor: Helina Griffiths
I specialise in aerial, primarily rotating hoop, static single point hoop, aerial harness and silks.
Since leaving professional training I have been able to develop my own work and style, which is heavily influenced by the use of unique and unusual apparatus.
I have over 10 years worth of performing experience and knowledge to pass on. I love exploring and teaching new sequence and transitions, giving people the confidence to feel calm and collected whilst in the air and pushing their personal limits to new heights.
For me the most important thing about teaching is inspiring people. I hope to give them the feeling of what it would be like to fly, or to give them strength and balance they never knew they had, making them believe in the impossible.
