✨Let’s warmly welcome this wonderful couple to Sol Swing 2026 – our very own local Oslo teachers✨
Tom-Elbin and Martine are engaging West Coast Swing instructors known for blending technical precision with joy and playfulness. Both began their WCS journeys in 2015 and bring strong foundations in biomechanics, movement quality, and sustainable technique.
Tom-Elbin competes in the All-Star division and holds a bachelor’s degree in training and performance from the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences, informing his clear, structured, and reflective teaching style.
Martine has danced since the age of three, with extensive training in ballet, jazz, and contemporary dance. With a background in personal training, studies at the Norwegian College of Dance, and a degree in Osteopathy, she emphasizes clear technique, body awareness, and injury prevention.
Together, they create a supportive, well-structured learning environment that helps dancers improve efficiently while enjoying the process.
