Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Nino&Julia Nino Hellman & Julia Hansson. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Nino&Julia, appreciate you joining us today. Can you open up about a risk you’ve taken – what it was like taking that risk, why you took the risk and how it turned out?
Our dance style and performances caught the attention of many, leading to various opportunities and bookings. We were thrilled to see our hard work paying off, and it seemed like our career was on an upward trajectory.We quit our full-time jobs and invested everything we had. However, just as things were starting to take off, the COVID-19 pandemic struck, bringing the world to a standstill.
Like many others in the performing arts industry, our performances were canceled, and our income was severely affected. It was a challenging time for us both personally and professionally. However, we refused to let adversity define us. Instead, we decided to focus on our social media platforms and create content that would resonate with our audience.
We poured our energy into creating dance videos, tutorials, and behind-the-scenes glimpses into our lives as dancers. Our determination and perseverance paid off as our online presence continued to grow. We received messages of support and encouragement from our fans, which motivated us to keep pushing forward.
Although the pandemic brought uncertainty and setbacks, it also provided us with valuable lessons. We learned the importance of adapting to new circumstances, finding alternative avenues to showcase our talents, and never giving up on our dreams.
As restrictions eased, we started receiving performance opportunities again, albeit on a smaller scale. We were grateful for every opportunity that came our way and gave our all in each performance, cherishing the chance to do what we love.
Looking ahead, we are excited to embark on a new chapter in our careers. From January to March, we will be traveling to Los Angeles to dance, get inspiration, train hard, develop, collaborate with other creators/dancers. We dream of one day being able to move to LA
Despite the challenges we have faced, we are grateful for the resilience and determination we have developed along the way. We are confident that our passion, hard work, and unwavering commitment will continue to guide us on our journey to success in the world of dance.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
We are Nino Hellman and Julia Hansson, known as Nino&Julia, professional dancers, choreographers, and content creators from Stockholm, Sweden. Our dance journey gained momentum in 2019 when we showcased our talents on Sweden’s Got Talent, marking a significant turning point in our careers.
As a dynamic dance duo, we have garnered global recognition for our captivating performances on TikTok. Our style and positive energy have captivated audiences worldwide

How did you build your audience on social media?
After our participation in Sweden’s Got Talent 2019, we decided to focus more on our social media channels. A few months later, we heard about TikTok. Intrigued, we downloaded the app and started experimenting for fun. Suddenly, we started gaining followers from all over the world who seemed to love our dance and energy. However, it wasn’t until a year later that we began taking these platforms more seriously.
We tested the waters on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, learning as we went along. Building social media channels from scratch at this point seemed impossible, and gaining followers felt like a daunting task. But during the pandemic, social media became the only place where we could perform. So, we continued to experiment and remained consistent. We challenged ourselves and tried to think outside the box. Many of our videos were not great, but we learned from them and eventually discovered something that suited us and showcased our personality.
Therefore, our best tips would be to stay consistent, think outside the box, take risks, and most importantly, be yourself!
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
We have always had big dreams, and what drives us is our own ambition. It is what gets us out of bed every morning and keeps us working hard. While we currently reside in Stockholm, Sweden, our ultimate dream is to live in Los Angeles. We envision ourselves performing on grand stages and embarking on world tours, choreographing for renowned artists, big brands and traveling the globe with our dances. Together, we aspire to create our dream life. Our dreams also revolve around personal growth, constantly improving our skills, and expanding our knowledge
