Dancer- Monica Nordlin

For those “in the know” in the dancing scene, the name of Monica Nordlin may already be a name which is familiar: Monica Nordlin is a Finnish-born performer best known for her achievements in the world of dance. Nordlin, who was born and raised in Finland, has always found performance to be her calling. She discovered at an early age she loved dancing and singing and even chose her future career, that of a professional dancer, at the tender age of 13. Although Nordlin is naturally talented, she does not ignore the importance of hard word, dedication, experience and practice. As Nordlin says in her personal biography: "I am prepared to give it my all to make [my dreams] come true." Dreams don’t come easily, but they can"as Nordlin believes"with hard work and dedication.

Nordlin's primary passion and desired career is dance. She has trained in numerous styles of dance, including: jazz dance, classical ballet, show dance, hip hop dance, burlesque dance, contemporary dance, modern dance and a little bit of tap dance. She believes that her strongest suits are her performances in show dance and jazz dance, due to the longer amount of time she has spent training in both of these dance styles. Although she is strongest in jazz dance and show dance, Nordlin reports that people often assume she is the strongest in ballet due to the build of her body!

At the moment, Nordlin is hard at work making her professional dance dreams come true. She one day hopes to work alongside other professional performers who share her passion. For now, she continues to work on her own dancing skills as well as numerous dance projects, all in the hopes of furthering her professional dance dreams.
