Ardena Gojani Neumayr
We are thrilled to welcome Ardena Gojani Neumeyr back to March Madness Swing
Ardena’s journey with dance began with salsa and took off during two years of ballroom dancing in the USA. Then, in 2010, she discovered West Coast Swing and immediately felt like she’d found her dance “home.” Since then, she’s been on a mission to grow the WCS community in Norway, learning from the best around the world and bringing that knowledge back. She also runs Winter White, a WSDC event, since 2012!
In addition to her dance expertise, Ardena is also a qualified yoga instructor in Ashtanga, a certified breathwork coach, and a fitness trainer accredited by the National Academy of Sports Medicine.
With a background in psychology, fitness, and yoga, she brings a unique, well-rounded style to her teaching. But what really excites her is digging deep into the details of West Coast Swing—those little things that take a dancer’s skills to the next level. For Ardena, teaching isn’t just about learning moves—it’s about helping people grow and seeing them light up when they find themselves, becoming more confident, more connected to their bodies and to music.
Ardena can’t wait to bring her energy and experience to March Madness Swing - an event that’s especially close to her heart as its former organizer!
