Adam Solya (born March 25, 1984) is a Hungarian professional dancer, figure skating choreographer, and former competitive ice dancer.

Biography

Solya was born on March 25, 1984 in Szeged, Hungary.

He began figure skating in 1994. His first ice dance partner was Hajnalka Oros before later pairing up with Kitti Jonas. Jonas/Solya competed together on the 2003–04 ISU Junior Grand Prix, finishing thirteenth at the 2003 JGP Croatia. During his time as a figure skater, Solya also studied ballet.[1][2][3]

Following his retirement from competitive figure skating, Solya became a professional dancer and participated in modern ballet groups and musicals.

He moved from Budapest to Antwerp, Belgium after taking a dancing role in Belgium and ultimately falling in love with the country. After years away from figure skating, Solya soon found himself getting drawn back into it and began working as a figure skating choreographer. Solya has stated that as a choreographer, he wishes to incorporate "classical ballet, modern dance and contemporary upperbody movements in his choreographies."[4] He has also cited figure skating choreographer, Lori Nichol, as an inspiration.[3]

In addition to working as a choreographer, he is an associate professor at the Musical Faculty of the Royal Conservatoire Antwerp.[3]

Solya also currently coaches alongside Jorik Hendrickx, whom he formerly choreographed for.[5] He is fluent in Hungarian, Belgian Dutch, and English.[3][6]
