🌺 We are excited to introduce a true West Coast Swing pioneer – Ardena Gojani Neumayr – a dancer, instructor, and community builder who has not only participated in but is a major star in shaping the Norwegian dance landscape.
🌷 A Dance Journey of Passion
Ardena’s dance story is a testament to finding one’s true artistic expression. Her journey began with salsa and blossomed through two transformative years of ballroom dancing in the United States. In 2010, she discovered West Coast Swing – and it was love at first dance. This wasn’t just another dance style; it was her artistic home.
🌸 Building Community, Inspiring Dancers
Since her WCS epiphany, Ardena has been on a mission to nurture and expand the dance community in Norway. She’s not just a dancer, but a knowledge seeker who travels, learns from international experts, and brings those insights back to her local community. For a decade, she’s been the driving force behind Winter White, a prestigious WSDC event that has become a cornerstone of the Norwegian West Coast Swing scene.

💐 More Than Just Dance Steps
With a multifaceted background in psychology, fitness, and yoga, Ardena brings a holistic approach to dance instruction. Her teaching philosophy goes far beyond technical movements. For her, dance is a transformative journey of self-discovery. She delights in those magical moments when a student’s confidence blooms, when they connect more deeply with their body, the music, and their inner rhythm.
What sets Ardena apart is her passion for the nuanced details that elevate a good dancer to a great one. She doesn’t just teach steps; she empowers dancers to tell their own story through movement.
Get ready to be inspired, challenged, and transformed! 🌸
