She began her professional dancing career in 2006 and has since been developing her techniques in various dance styles, including carnival samba and traditional and modern African dances, both in Poland and abroad. 

Dúnia is constantly evolving as a dancer, perfecting her skills and expanding her knowledge of new forms of movement. She finds cooperating with others inspiring. She has performed with the Brazilian band Unha de Gato from Niterói and has worked with Muleketu, the French samba-reggae group and the largest of its kind in Europe.
