Overview
My name is Molly Hagman and I’m a professional salsa dancer based in NYC. I teach and perform a wide range of styles like salsa, bachata, merengue, chacha and samba. I offer various performances! Both with my dance partner as a couple in latin styles, as well as solo shows in salsa and show dance.
My training consists of a 4 year dance education at Broadway Dance Center in New York City from 2016-2019. Before that I completed a 1 year dance program in Copenhagen, Denmark at International Dance Academy. Here in New York I’ve danced with the world renowned salsa company Yamuleé Dance Company for 6 years professionally!

About
Molly Hagman was born and raised in Sweden where her passion for dance really took off at Malmoe Dance Academy in 2009. Molly immersed herself in all different dance styles offered at the academy, representing World Dance with styles as belly dance, Bollywood, Samba, Dancehall, Reggaeton, Street styles, Jazz, Contemporary and Ballet. During her 6 years as a student, and later also a teacher in salsa and various classes, at MDA she established a very versatile foundation.
In 2014 Molly completed a 1 year commercial dance education at International Dance Academy in Copenhagen, Denmark as a full time student. As a part of the program, she got the opportunity to train at the world renowned dance studios Millennium Dance Complex and Debbie Reynold’s in Los Angeles for 3 months. There she trained with some of LA’s top choreographers including Yanis Marshall, Nika Kljun, Tricia Miranda, Will Adams (WillDaBeast), Misha Gabriel, Jojo Gomez and Gustavo Vargas.
In January 2016 Molly packed her bags and left for NYC to study dance at Broadway Dance Center. She did the International Student Visa Program with ballet as her concentration and graduated in October 2019 after almost 4 years of full-time studies. She took classes for some of the most prominent teachers in the city and got mentored in ballet by Natalya Stavro and Jamie Salmon. The technique forward training gave her a great repertoire and the right building blocks to truly elevate her dance.
Now based in NYC as a professional dancer, Molly is currently part of the world-renowned salsa company Yamulee Dance Company, directed by Osmar Perrones. She’s celebrating 6 years since joining in August 2016. During her time in New York, she has trained and taken classes for some of the best salsa dancers in the world.
