Britta was born and raised in Hamburg, Germany. She studied classical ballet and modern dance under the direction of Constanze Vernon at the University of Fine Arts and Music in Munich, under Rosella Highthower at the Centre de Danse Internationale in Cannes, France, under John Neumeier at The Hamburg Ballet School in Hamburg and with Ruth Currier in New York, NY. She danced professionally for eleven years in Germany with the Musiktheater im Revier in Gelsenkirchen, Freiburger Tanztheater in Freiburg, Breisgau, and with Tanzforum at the Metropolitan Opera in Cologne, performing many solo roles. During these years she toured extensively throughout Europe and Southeast Asia.

After she relocated to the United States with her husband and daughter, Stephen and Scarlett Wynne, she danced, co-directed, and taught for At Marah Dance Theatre while at the same time performing with Jeanne Ruddy Dance, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Britta accepted a position as Specialty Instructor at Belhaven University in Jackson, MS, where for seven years she taught classical and modern dance, and professionally monitored students for graduation and beyond.

Britta was accepted as a student and started a four-year degree program in Feldenkrais at the Houston, TX campus and graduated as a Guild Certified PractitionerCM in 2013. Apart from operating her private practice, she supported Stephen Wynne with teaching and artistic leadership at the Sange de Cristo Art Center in Pueblo, CO, Arts Immersion Charter School in Denver, CO, and Dance Arts Los Alamos, NM.

She is excited to find her new home in beautiful Northwest Arkansas and enjoys training the NWA Ballet Theatre dancers and engaging her talents within the rehearsal process alongside her husband as a creative associate.
