Pontus Sundset is educated at the Royal Swedish Ballet School in Stockholm, graduating in 1998. Pontus has worked with companies like Norrdans, Carte Blanche, Ballet Victor Ullate, Skånes Dansteater, Göteborgs Operans Balett, BallettAmRhein, and the Royal Swedish Ballet.
Currently freelancing, Pontus often collaborates both artistically and spiritually with Finnish choreographer Virpi Pahkinen.
"In my classes, I try to teach technique that is first and foremost based on the principles of classical ballet, which I believe is useful not only for classically trained dancers but also for those more focused on modern or contemporary dance. To work through the entire body, one should also get a proper 'workout' for stamina.
Footwork, breathing, coordination, and the ability to move quickly with precision in both turned-out and turned-in positions are, for me, like yin and yang. Completely different muscle groups have to work together to fully extend the body and take space in the room, especially when reaching the center and stage.
It is 2024, and dancers should be equipped with good technique to approach various jobs that require technical skills while also protecting the body from injury. The best description of my class is 'funky ballet.'"
