Scandia Camp Mendocino
Eivind Bakken
I work full time as an electrician and I have one son. I practice dancing in Jondalen with the dance group "Små Jondølene", and am in general a very active person. I do performances as a single dancer (Halling/laus), and with a partner in the performance group "Frikar", and of course for "Små Jondølene". I started dancing in "Små Jondølene" at the age of 7, and my mentors since then have been Robert Dokken, Hellik Dokka, and Karin Brennesvik. I have taught dance classes since the age of 17, by myself and together with Karin and Arnhild. During my life as a dancer I have gotten to travel the world doing performances even in Shanghai, China, and throughout Russia. I started to compete as a C class dancer and I am competitive by nature and enjoy the competitions very much.
