Elise comes from Norway where she started dancing in her teenage years. She trains in classical dance, jazz, and contemporary dance. She then moves to Rotterdam, Netherlands, to study contemporary dance at the Codarts University of the Arts. At the end of her studies, she dances with the Poetic Disasters Club, the sub-company of the Guy & Roni Club in Groningen, focused on the interdisciplinarity between dance, music, and theater. She also leads her own classes for beginner dancers, focused on improvisation, floorwork, contemporary, and the basics of acrobatics.
