Updates, announcements, and news from YokoMotion.

Nærnett visited during one of our adult workshop courses and created a warm and close report about community, mastery, and joy of dancing in the YokoMotion environment. In the segment, you will meet both participants and instructors who share why this offer means so much in everyday life.

The video clip was produced by journalism students at the University College of Volda for Nærnett.

A student studying journalism and radio at the University of Volda made a segment about our small presentation evening, where the children who have attended courses at YokoMotion got to showcase what they have learned for family and friends. It was a lovely moment with proud dancers, a lot of mastery, and a warm community around the young performers.

We are in the process of starting the YokoMotion association

Published: February 25, 2026

YokoMotion has since 2025 been a small, warm, and lively dance offering for children and young people – with Yoko as the instructor and classes on Tuesdays. Now we are taking a new step: we have started the work of establishing our own association around the offering.

Why are we doing this?

Even though YokoMotion is still small and manageable, we want to build a stable foundation for the future. An association makes it possible to:

  • ensure continuity in the offering

  • apply for funding schemes suitable for cultural activities for children and young people

  • develop YokoMotion at a calm and sustainable pace


This is not about growing quickly, but about taking care of what we have already built up.

What does this mean for you?

Everyone will automatically be enrolled in the association. For those of you who are already involved, everything will remain as before:

  • same instructor

  • same warm environment

  • same Tuesday classes

The difference is that we are working behind the scenes to ensure that YokoMotion can continue to be a safe and inclusive offering for children and young people for a long time to come.

A small step – but an important one

Starting an association is a natural and important step for us. It gives us opportunities, security, and structure, without losing the closeness and personal touch that makes YokoMotion something truly special.

We look forward to sharing more when the association is ready for the next phase.

For meg er det musikk, dans og fellesskap
