Dancing:
From 1996-2000 Asse was a dancer in the contemporary dance company Barents Dance Ensemble.
2001-2014 she has been dancing in different projects (mostly contemporary).
From 2015 a dancer in the jazzdance company Mattox Art Lab.
Aase has a wonderful approach to teaching – ¨When I teach it’s really important that the students understands that the class isn’t for me, but for them. I don’t want them to use the time to please me but to discover, be curious and dare to try new things. I want them to see the class as a laboratory-not a stage¨.
