As a dance tutor, she specializes in teaching improvisation methods, modes of communication for collaborating and performing with live music, and the development of safe and efficient movement technique with respect to the body. As a performer, she explores movement and choreography as a language and means of communication, enabling honest interactions with audiences and communities. She creates site-specific dance films addressing social issues related to inhabiting space.

Her expertise is in solo step dance traditions of Ireland and percussive dance traditions of the North Atlantic region. Her personal percussive dance vocabulary includes steps from Ireland, Canada, the United States, England, Scotland, and Spain, and body percussion. Her background is in Irish step dancing and sean-nós dancing. Rather than repeating fixed routines, she's improvising in real time accompanying the musician playing for her. Her contemporary dance training consists of release technique, improvisation, and somatic-based movement.

Aneta enjoys collaborations with dance artists and musicians of any genre. She believes in the transformative power of dance and its potential to forge connections within and between communities.
