It is with great sadness that ECTA announces that Daniela Leßmann on February 22nd , 2025 passed away at the age of 55.
Daniela was known to many dancers and leader colleagues for her warm nature.
Her joy in dance and dealing with people was clearly a great motivation for Daniela. She first danced Square Dance but later Round Dance became her great passion. Through her enthusiasm, she also inspired her family to devote themselves to this hobby. She was a long-standing member of ECTA. In addition to her work in clubs, she was also featured in Round Dance Festivals.
Teaching and training were particularly close to her heart. She had only recently started a new Round Dance class.
Her sudden and unexpected death is a painful loss.
Our thoughts go out to her family at this difficult time.
