Welcome to my blog! My name is Irlin. I'm a norwegian lady living in Oslo, working full time as a professional dancer and choreographer. A certified life lover who also keep myself busy as an influencer, podcast host and entrepreneur.

In my personal life I value humor, socializing, traveling and learning. I run the worlds first app for the dance style Waacking and in general are very interested in psychology. I love to create, specially though dance, photo and video. As a spiritual being I developed the concept "Sensual Feminine dance" which merges dance with eastern philosophy and neuroscience. As a global historian in disco dance culture I am also a nerd in general when it comes to cultural history.

My blog and social media content is a combination of all of my interests.

Happy (real) New Year!

Our calendar system is based on the nature of man. It is a solar calendar, not a lunar calendar. Scientific insight into why spiritual teachings say the sun = masculine, the moon = feminine. A historical insight into how the patriarchy created male-dominated systems, religions, and the calendar. As well as how we are affected by the moon. This week, large parts of Asia celebrated New Year’s Eve. A celebration that other parts of the West view with a puzzled glance, with naiv

A Spiritual Awakening for Humanity?

Those who know me well know that I am a deeply spiritual person. One of those who sees connections between the major religions, astrology, Asian belief systems, and pure intuition. And precisely because of that, there is something that has been on my mind a lot over the past few months. I feel called to share this, as I sense there may be a need for some hope. About 1–2 years ago, I noticed that spiritual communities were very focused on a so-called “awakening” that was suppo

Students Flew in from Other Cities to Attend My Tromsø Workshop

I spent the weekend in the very north of Norway. On Saturday, I participated in Harstad Orbit Battle in Harstad, and on Sunday I taught a workshop in Tromsø. The workshop was held at Dance Lab, the largest dance studio in Troms county. The atmosphere there is so warm and welcoming, and it was truly a pleasure to teach. I offered both a waacking class and a small choreography class based on my own concept, “Sassy & Savage.” Sharing the waacking style with different parts of th

Semi finalist in Harstad Orbit Battle

Last weekend, I traveled to the very north of Norway – to Harstad – to participate in Orbit Battle. I flew up on Friday, met many kind and inspiring dancers from the very first moment, and was lucky enough to receive free accommodation from the organizers. Such a warm northern welcome! Orbit is an open style battle, which means that all dance styles are welcome and the DJ plays all types of music. This makes the event both unusual and exciting. You might hear classical music,

Performing at Oslo Nye Teater

On Saturday, February 8 , I had the pleasure of performing at Kiki Burly Q at Oslo Nye Teater – a stage that holds space for storytelling, resistance, playfulness, and raw expressive power.Stepping into my Jessica Rabbit area ?

POV: How Dancers Try on Clothes 😅

For dancers, the fitting room isn’t just a place to see if clothes fit… it turns into a full-on workout! We have to bend, stretch, and dance to test mobility. 😅 Here’s a little glimpse of what it really looks like when dancers try on clothes. Can you relate? 😂limt av hvordan det faktisk ser ut når dansere prøver klær. Kan du kjenne deg igjen? 😂

Choreographing a new music video

In December, I had the pleasure of choreographing a new music video for the artist Iris — known to many as Ladybug from MGP , Norway’s entry to the international music competition Eurovision. Iris moves within an exciting landscape of pop and rock , often infused with a mysterious undertone that draws the audience closer, deeper. The music video we worked on is for the song “Psyco” — a track that plays with the idea of appreciating imperfection, the uncontrollable, and what

Performing at Klubb37

I recently had the pleasure of working as a dancer at the new concept Klubb 37+ — a nightclub created specifically for people over the age of 37. A club that proves that partying, dancing, and great vibes definitely have no age limit. The concept is simple and brilliant: early evening, a bar, a disco DJ, and lots of dancing. And the response has been incredible — Klubb 37+ has become extremely popular in a very short time , filled with energy and a crowd that truly wants to

Happy Halloween

This year, I celebrated Halloween dressed as Cleopatra – one of history’s strongest and most iconic women. It was so much fun putting on the costume and playing with history, while also feeling the power and pride Cleopatra represents. The celebration took place at my friend Gina ’s place, together with her fiancé Kjartan and her friends. The evening was full of laughter, good conversations, creative costumes, and lots of fun. Halloween is truly a time to let loose, and thi

Semi-Finalist in This Weekend’s Battle

😍 Oh my god, how much I love this style and its amazing community! Tonight, my battle partner @ladynojoke and I competed in the semi-finals of the Extended Waacking Battle at @soulsessionsoslo – and wow, what a blast! In recent years, I haven’t battled much, instead focusing on administrative work and teaching around my love for Waacking & Punking . But wow – what they say about aging and gaining life experience before hitting the battle floor is true. Tonight was so much
