Hanna Nygren

Hi, my name is Hanna Nygren. I'm 21 and from Lund

My interest in dance began through a close friend who danced. I sat every week and watched her classes. After been sitting there for at least a year I realized that I should probably also be dancing and I have ever since

When I was eleven I started dancing for Crazy Feet dance school in Lund, with a mix of Street and Showdance. I have always liked all dance styles but it is without hesitation the Street styles that I feel lays the closest to my heart. David Johnsson, the owner of Crazy Feet has been my main teacher but also Rut Rai Åkesson who has given me a lot of inspiration

When I had finished high school I realized that I wanted to put more in to my dance so I applied for an audition for Sweden's only dance education with Street as a main direction, I got in. The school's name is Åsa folkhögskola and resides in Sköldinge, just outside Katrineholm and about 10 Swedish miles from Stockholm. It is the best choice I have made in my whole life. I evolved a lot as a dancer and I got the right picture of what the Street styles are and what they stand for and the history behind their origins. Through my education in Åsa Folkhögskola I have participated in Stockholm's city theater with jamet Lesson One. With our showcase from Lesson One we toured on different events and places in Sormland

My greatest inspiration without doubt and teacher is Robert (RobOne) Wägar from Sthlm. Other important teachers and inspiration sourses are Oskar (Supreme) Pitré, Sabina Dalfjäll, Fredrik (Freeze) Herranen, Patrik Helge, Akira (Funkira), Isse, Elvis, Damon Frost, "Funky 4 brothers", Locksmith and of course my class at Åsa 64024! You know who you are!

During my education we also started up the dance group Diversity Crew, were we among other things participated on the Malmo festival 2006. Other exhibitions and workshops with other groups have been in Katrineholm, Lund, Valla with more

My biggest passion within the dance is Newstyle, House and Locking, which will be the styles that I will put most of my energy on in my classes. Be seeing you!
