The power of movement
Body, mind and music
In a day clinic for neurological and psychosomatic patients, I witnessed something profound: the power of music and movement as healing. I saw how dance and exercise could reconnect people with themselves, how music could unlock blockades and emotions words couldn’t express. It was here that I truly understood—body, mind, and music are deeply intertwined. And in that connection lies transformation.
From spotlight to passion
Then, the big stage called me. As a dancer and choreographer for a renowned dance agency, I was immersed in the electrifying world of theater and television, feeling the magic of each performance firsthand. For 15 years, I lived for the stage—performing, creating, and sharing my passion. I taught in over 20 studios, passing on my love for movement and rhythm, exploring every facet of music and dance.
What music means to me
Music has always been my faithful companion. From the deep, hypnotic beats of house, progressive, indie dance, ambient, chillout and techno to the timeless beauty of classical compositions, sound shaped my journey. And then there was Latin music—it had a grip on my soul. For a decade, I danced salsa and merengue in the clubs of my hometown, Aachen, losing myself in the fire and passion of every beat.
My story began on the ice. As a child, I felt truly alive when I was gliding over the frozen surface—full of passion, energy, and an unstoppable drive. Movement was never just something I did; it was a part of me. Growing up in a sporty family, my weekends belonged to the mountains, the tennis court, or the ski slopes. Every step, every turn, every leap was an expression of pure joy and freedom.
Then, I discovered dance—and with it, a whole new world. What started as a hobby quickly ignited a fire in me. The rhythm, the music, the feeling of losing myself in movement—it was magical. My passion became my purpose. I immersed myself in training, became a dance and fitness coach, and eventually stood on stages as a instructor for fitness associations.
A symbiosis of sound and motion
In 2012, a new chapter unfolded. Love led me to Ibiza, an island where music and movement pulse in perfect harmony. I continued my work as a personal trainer, but something new stirred inside me. I stepped behind the DJ booth, blending beats as seamlessly as I moved my body. Suddenly, I wasn’t just dancing to music—I was creating it. Every track, every rhythm became an extension of my beiing. It was more than passion; it was a symbiosis of sound and motion—inseparable, like breath and life.
Living my dream
Today I am living my dream: as a personal trainer and as DJ Aleks Sputnik, performing in iconic venues like Ibiza Sonica Radio, Ibiza Global Radio, AKASHA, Pikes, Café Del Mar, Sunset Ashram and Sigma in Ibiza, I combine my two passions and let people feel how music and movement can touch body and soul. And now I'm fulfilling my next vision: my own OLA retreat.
A place full of energy, beautiful sounds, inspiration and deep connection — with yourself and others. A space to recharge, realign and celebrate life in its purest form.
