Ida put so much heart into Norwegian Open, and it really shows! The venue is amazing - from the quality of the floor and the lighting during the competitions and pro show, to the chill-out area and the spacious dance floor. The organisation was perfect, with no hiccups at all. And the town itself is super cute, right next to a huge lake, which makes the whole experience even nicer. The hotel is very convenient, and the breakfast has so many options! Even the elevators turned out to be enough once participants realized there are actually two sets on each floor and stopped using just one pair of them ;) The only downside was the train strike, but obviously that was completely out of the organisers hands. Overall it was an amazing event :)

A lovely event with a really warm atmosphere and a welcoming, community-driven vibe. You can tell that a lot of heart and effort went into organizing it! The instructors were very well selected, and the level across the classes was nicely balanced. The pro show was fantastic! The venue was great, with a good dance floor, plenty of space to dance, and a comfortable temperature throughout the event. The surrounding area was very peaceful, and the journey from and to the airport offered some beautiful views.

The venue is absolutely fantastic: the vibe, the lights, everything about it is so cool. The event is really well organized. This year I volunteered on the social media team and came with my family (my husband and our 4-year-old), so it wasn't always easy, but I never felt like I couldn't be part of the event. I had great dances and great conversations. The competitions ran smoothly. The classes were excellent too. The only downside this year was out of the organizers' hands: a train strike made getting to and from the venue harder for some dancers. Honestly, I can't think of much to complain about. Definitely worth going and trying it out! ❤️

Very Cozy and nice event. I love this event as people are very friendly and have a Norwegian vibe. Have various flooding options as well near the venue (10-15mins walk) which makes it more convenient. Excellent lighting and sound system. Adds to the vibe of the event. Definitely would recommend it.
