Our background
We have been dancing Lindy Hop since 1993, and have been dance partners since 2004. We have both been teaching and performing across Europe, North America and Asia together with the legendary swing dance troupe The Harlem Hot Shots (formerly The Rhythm Hot Shots) and have at several times been on both national and international television. We have dedicated many years focusing only on Lindy Hop and other dances from the same era like Authentic Solo Jazz, Tap, Slow Drag and Charleston.
Frankie Manning is our true and biggest inspiration and we have been working with him many times, both as teaching partners and as his students in professional and private classes. Our mission is to share what we've learnt from him and his spirit and approach to Lindy Hop.
When teaching we focus on getting the best out of each and every one of our students, meaning: helping you find your personal and unique way of expressing yourself. We also put a big emphasis on musicality and rhythms - the more you understand, hear and feel the music, the rhythms and the energy the better you will be able to express yourself as a dancer.
To us Lindy Hop is a true street dance and we do all we can to keep it like that and not let it transform into a Ballroom dance or modern interpretation of the original dance. Lindy Hop is Jazz embodied - free from boundaries and rules. To us being a good dancer is not about advanced technical skills or how many figures you know, but rather if you dare to feel and express yourself.
- Good dancing makes you smile!
