She later recieved formal dance training from college in Oregon, where she studied ballet, jazz and hip hop. She is by many considered the best female salsa dancer in Norway. Since 2003 she has devoted 100 % of her time to learning and teaching dance.

However, he had absolutely no dance background before he got involved in salsa. With no talent for dance, but a strong will to learn, Erik has worked very hard to become a very trained and educated dancer . He has great understanding of what the dancer is doing, how to learn it and how to teach it. Using many years experience as a professor of economics at the univeristy, Erik is known for his ability to teach dance in a fun, easy and inspiring way. In January 2007 he jumped off his academic career to become a full time dancer.
