Teaching is a never ending discovery, and I am working to give the students the best possible classes for their age, interest, and mental/physical level. I try to acknowledging that we are all different and trying to adapt accordingly by using different teaching methods and exercises. At the same time I strive for efficiency and clear class structure. Here I feel my PPU education has helped me.

I wish to think of dance training as something holistically: a physically, technically, mentally and creatively development training. In that way I also help my students to become healthier, stronger, and more aware and reflective as dancers but also humans.

I want my classes to be challenging and interesting, but another aspect that’s important to me is “danseglede”; the joy of dance. For why else do we do it ? and just rom for play. Facilitating joy for dance and movement is then a good key towards a better work environment and development I also find.

As a proffesional dance artist who perform my own creations, I experience my training has big influence on my movement language and what I create, and so everything is connected.

Thought on Teaching

Teaching is a never ending discovery. I am working to give the students the best possible classes for their age, interest, and mental/physical level. I try to acknowledging that we are all different and trying to adapt accordingly by using different teaching methods and exercises. At the same time I strive for efficiency and clear class structure, where I feel my PPU education has helped me.

I wish to think of training of others holistically: physically, technically, mentally and creatively; in expression and choreography. In that way I help my students to become healthier, stronger, and more aware and reflective as dancers but also humans.

So I want my classes to be challenging and interesting, but another aspect that’s important to me is “danseglede”; the joy of dance. For why else do we do it ? and just rom for play. Facilitating joy for dance and movement is a good key towards a better work environment and development I also find.

Styles

My focus and interests lie mostly in the contemporary field, but I do have teaching experience and classes in jazz and ballet for beginners to intermediate levels, as well as kids dance in contemporary, jazz and ballet from the age of 5. I also do jazz choreographies for higher levels.

Though I’ve acquired quite a broad range of experience in a short time. I took my teaching education in 2016-2017, teaching and sharing my knowledge in this way was the last skill I developed as a dance artist, and I am looking forward to continuing this journey.

THE START IN 2020

During the four work years in Verdal 19-23, it was a necessity to train myself in order to continue my skills and interests. Due to lack of other dancers around , work, isolation and pandemic some part of it. I have before and under the pandemic teached kids and teeenagers for years. I got a taste of what I liked, but I hade not teached much higher level. During the pandemic and years after I developed a pro tec class. To explore more of those interests and to train myself.

THE CLASS:
We start with a good warm up of all the joint before meeting standing exercises, floor work, acrobatics for dancers, some improvisations and choreography. Some classes we will focus more on some aspects than others. All after what I find useful and progression for the students.

THE GOAL:
The goal is to become strong and aware in all angles of the body. I want us to feel placed and prepared to start creative work after the class. Doing a tec class is also strength and injury prevention of joints.

CHOREOGRAPHIES - where all come together

Simultaneously when I created this class, I created 1-2 class choreographies a month for a year (!) (19-20). I hav ben exploring dance, directions and physically thought exploring and then setting materialet for 10 + years, but this year I did it a lot. With the years before 2019, I have now over 40 (class) choreos up my sleeve to give.

This work kept my interest with dance. The choreographies pushed both mind and body in different directions, as wel las training my brain, stamina, and technique in a fun way. This way of training, combining technique and choreography, worked well for me as a warm up class, keeping me well trained and so I add choreographies or longer phrases to my classes when training with others.

See my overview with impressions of the class in 2020, an overview over the choreos, as well as video of what kind of acrobatic elements you might meet. Lets move!
