Sólveig is our local Solo Jazz star. She started dancing at the age of 8 and it has been her favorite way of expressing herself ever since. Through the years, she tried several different dance styles (including ballet, classical jazz, belly dance, contemporary dance and street dance) before she finally found her passion for swing dancing in 2010. She immediately got addicted to the awesome music and the contagious joy of the dance. Sólveig has been teaching lindy hop in Copenhagen since 2013, as well as solo charleston and authentic jazz. She just loves all aspects of the dance, whether it’s performing, practicing, teaching or social dancing. And the more the better!
