Soleman Krebs began his dance career at the tender age of 4 when his mother enrolled him in a tap dance class. He began competing at the age of 8
and continued doing tap dancing until age 20. After a recital when he was 13 years old, his mother came to him in tears, identifying the pride that she had.
Looking around he realized that his dancing made people happy and at that point decided that dancing was something he wanted to do for the rest of his life.
Shortly after he turned twenty, Soleman became an instructor at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio. He became certified as a Full Silver level ballroom dance
instructor. While social dancing at the Rush Nightclub, Soleman saw the most amazing thing ever: a gentleman was dancing to country music,
while suddenly, mid-dance, he began moon walking. Completely awestruck, Soleman realized that any dance where a person could moonwalk was a dance that he wanted to do &
Soleman ran up to the Chicago dancer and discovered his new love in
life.
Soleman wants to become one with music as well as with his partner; to be able to have a conversation without speaking a word. On the dance floor, he doesn't have a care in the world.
As a dance instructor in the Twin Cities since 2003, Soleman loves sharing his knowledge and love of dance. He teaches dance to be as easy as possible and finds great joy in seeing his students grow and share his love for all forms of dancing. Among his recent wins are:
1st place All-Star Strictly Swing, Swing City Chicago, 2010
1st place All-Star Jack 'n' Jill, Swing City Chicago, 2009
Soleman became an All-Star on the WCS circuit in 2009 and relocated to Chicago January 2011.
