Sondre and Tanya come running out, their shorter builds distinguishable from other notable dancers.

These two have that forever young vibe to them, from the way they dress, to the way they smile, and how they execute their dance moves.

The flurry of footwork, the constant bouncing and dizzying spins you’re seeing here are to be their trademark moves.

It’s not a Sondre and Tanya dance without those!

Now aside from the thousands of hours in practice these two incredible dancers have spent, it’s the upbringing that’s wired their bones to be such amazing dancers.

Sondre was born and raised in DombÄs, in the Dovre municipality, Innlandet county, Norway but he currently lives in Warsaw, Poland.

This talented young man started dancing at the tender age of five.

When he turned eight, he took part in his first Swing dance competitions and at thirteen began teaching locally

. In 2007, he went for Norway’s got Talent and from then on, took off as a dancing superstar.

Tanya was born and raised in Kiev, Ukraine, but also lives in Warsaw, Poland.

This pretty lady began with classical dance at the age of four.

When she turned nine, she switched to acrobatic Rock-n-Roll. Tanya’s expanded her arsenal of dances now doing Modern jazz, Contemporary dane, Boogie Woogie and Lindy-hop.

Just look at the timing, the counting, and the stunning moves Sondre and Tanya are pulling off.

It’s a sub 2 minute dance but if they went on for a half hour, no one would have minded!
