About Molly
About Molly Having worked as a professional salsa dancer in New York City since 2016, I have built a reputation as a respected dancer in the industry through my work with the world-renowned Yamuleé Dance Company. The foundation of my career comes from years of full-time dance training, beginning in my home country of Sweden (5 years), followed by Copenhagen and Los Angeles (1 year), before moving to New York City. In New York, I trained for nearly four years at the renowned Broadway Dance Center, where I developed a strong technical background and versatile foundation for my dance career. I danced professionally with Yamuleé Dance Company for six years before launching my solo career in 2022. Since then, I have been teaching, performing, choreographing, and traveling internationally through dance.

Perfect! Molly was phenomenal with helping us create a dance for our wedding dance. She created the most incredible choreo for 2 songs we wanted to dance to while also mixing and splitting up our lessons so it is all digestible.
I would highly recommend Molly for any of your dance lesson needs!- It was an absolute pleasure teaching Asif & Mariam in preparation for their wedding dance. With a mix of both bachata, salsa, and some Bollywood as well, they learned the whole dance very quickly! I had a lot of fun during our sessions ️Molly's response :
Perfect! Learning salsa can feel intimidating at first, but Molly made the entire experience incredibly fun, and rewarding. Her passion for dance and deep knowledge of salsa really shine through in all our class. What I appreciated most was how patient, energetic, and positive she was throughout the learning process. She created such a supportive environment that made trying something new feel exciting instead of nerve-wrecking.
If you're looking for a salsa teacher who is talented, professional, and genuinely cares about her students enjoying the journey, I can't recommend her enough!

Perfect! I recently had the pleasure of taking salsa dance lessons with Molly an incredible instructor, and I can't recommend her highly enough! From the very first class, she created an inviting atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. Her warm and welcoming demeanor made it easy for me to step out of my comfort zone and embrace the joy of dancing.
What truly sets her apart is her extensive knowledge of salsa dance. She not only taught the fundamental steps and techniques but also shared the rich cultural background of the dance, which deepened my appreciation for it. Her clear explanations and demonstrations made it easy to grasp even the more intricate moves, ensuring that I felt confident as I progressed through the lesson.
Beyond her expertise, what I appreciated most was her comforting presence. She has a remarkable ability to connect with her students, providing encouragement and constructive feedback that helped me improve while having fun. The session was filled with laughter and a sense of camaraderie, making it feel less like a formal lesson and more like a joyful gathering of friends.
Her passion for salsa is infectious, and it's evident that she genuinely cares about her students’ progress. She tailors her approach to meet each individual's needs, ensuring that everyone feels included and supported, regardless of their skill level. This personalized touch made all the difference in my learning experience.
If you're looking to learn salsa, whether you're a complete novice or looking to refine your skills, I wholeheartedly recommend her as a dance instructor. She not only teaches you how to move but also instills a love for the dance that will keep you coming back for more. I can't wait for my next class!- Dimas did GREAT in our first lesson!
