After graduating from Stepz Rannvá moved to New York to continue her dance training in the Independent Program at Peridance for 3,5 years. Since moving to New York she has performed and/or choreographed for various projects in NYC, Sweden, Denmark, Faroe Islands and Taiwan. In her movement vocabulary and choreographic works she draws inspiration from the nature, culture and history of the North Atlantic islands she grew up on.
