Anna G. Jansson

Adopted from Ethiopia at the age of 6months, Anna G Jansson grew up outside of Gothenburg, Sweden in a small town on a golf course – no literally, her hometown stood on a golf course. Her childhood was reminiscent of the dance movie classics FOOTLOOSE - growing up in a religiously conservative community and finding her voice and expression through dance against the wishes of her father who wanted her to play golf and be an academic. Her formative years were spent in Sweden during the 90s where she would encounter and navigate numerous challenges as the ethnic minority girl, blatantly told “I would love hire you but you would stick out” and “I wanted 3blondes and 3brunettes but she couldn’t do it so I guess I’m asking you”. Thru the tough-love tutelage from the likes of Bill T. Goodson, she would find her power and persevere, going on to performing in the world renowned musical THE LION KING on West End (London), the musicals A CHORUS LINE and LEGALLY BLONDE, choreographing productions for SVT (Swedish Television) and currently a judge with Swedish Dance Sport Federation (the Swedish branch of the European dance competition circuit).
