August Rommens

Based on a passion for rights, I refocused my interest during my childhood on languages. After a challenging period studying language, history and philosophy, I found my calling in pedagogy where I have always had a predilection for pupils with artistic backgrounds. That's why the Royal Ballet School Antwerp is such a pleasant workplace for me. It is hugely rewarding to teach a language to pupils who are engaged in art and dance. The challenge of teaching the many non-Dutch pupils Dutch is also highly motivating for me. You have to do what you enjoy doing and what you are good at. That requires a solid dose of perseverance, towards which I am happy to contribute! For me, realistic dreams are key to what I do.
