NIKA KLJUN (LA, USA)
… a passionate and world renowned choreographer, dancer and influencer—was born and raised in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Her parents, who were ballroom dancers, own the well established dance school, Bolero Dance Center. Nika’s father, Zoran Kljun, is the President of the Slovenian Dance Federation, and her mother, Janja Pušl, is a well known television personality, host, and dance judge.
The apple did not fall far from the tree—just like her parents, Nika was destined to be a leader and a big name influencer in her country. Nika, who is now the Slovenian Ambassador of Dance, gained global respect and paved the way for many dancers to come when she was the first to demonstrate that it is possible for a dancer from a small country, such as Slovenia, to achieve international success. A strong, powerful, and successful woman in the entertainment business, Nika has been the recipient of many awards and accolades from Slovenian press and media and has graced the front covers of many magazines, such as Cosmopolitan Magazine. In 2010, she was named Femme Fatale Woman of the Year.
Creating her versatility early on in her career, Nika trained in jazz, ballet, tap, hip hop,street jazz,ballroom, and in Latin-American dance styles. She competed with much success, and became a more than 30-time national champion, a European champion, and at age 17, her performance in a hip hop solo made her a World Champion under the IDO organization. As she represented Slovenia internationally, she brought a multitude of international awards to her home country as a dancer and choreographer. Nika also became a main coach for Bolero at age 17, and received high-honor awards from the Slovenian Dance Sport Federation and the National Olympic Committee of Slovenia. At the young age of 15, Nika joined the internationally known dance company, Dance 2XS (UK). Alongside her team, she performed in several shows in Europe and America. Nika was featured in the musical, “Dance Me”, the NRJ Music Awards, the Dome festival, the North American Dance Festival, and performed for the EU Health Ministry Congress. Additionally, Nika continued to build her resume as she was seen in many TV shows and commercials and began teaching internationally.
At age 20, Nika was selected to become a Nike woman—a global spokesperson for the brand—and was the face of multiple international advertisements and campaigns. As it became increasingly clear that she was set to be the best of the best, Nika decided to relocate to Los Angeles to further pursue dance. Upon her arrival, her career skyrocketed.
