How did you start dancing?
I have always loved to dance and in 2017, when I was writing my master thesis at DTU, I signed up for several dance classes in the university dance club, among which one was Lindy Hop and I got hooked instantly.
What do you love most about teaching?
I feel very fortunate and privileged to be able to share my passion for Lindy Hop with others. I love seeing when someone gets as hooked as I did when I started.
What does swing dancing mean to you?
Lindy Hop means so many things to me. The Copenhagen Lindy Hop community is wonderful and I value the social aspect very much. Also, dancing has an overall positive impact on my life. I really enjoy deepening my understanding of what Lindy Hop is, learning new skills, and practicing the dance. Last but not least, I love jazz music!
What’s your favourite jazz song or artist?
There are too many - Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Earl Hines, Mary Lou Williams, Art Tatum… I have a thing for the piano. I also can’t get enough of the clarinet of Benny Goodman and the saxophone of Johnny Hodges.
Fun fact or secret talent?
My first “dance” was aerobics when I was 6, because I didn’t like to be in the local football team and aerobics was the other option where I grew up.
