Our teachers

Brian
Brian discovered swing dancing after two weekends of electroswing festivals and found the joy they needed to push their comfort zone. For them, swing means exploration and learning together—you’ll see them stop mid-dance to suggest “what if we…” Now their feet are uncon…

Namiko
Namika discovered Lindy Hop at a Copenhagen festival and never looked back. It’s joy, freedom, and connection beyond words. She loves seeing dancers light up in class. A big fan of Mary Lou Williams, she only started dancing after moving from Japan in her thirties – party meant karaoke back then!
-
Ariane
Ariane fell into swing dancing in Belgium in 2016. Lindy Hop came first, but Shag and Balboa stole her heart. It’s people, connection, and joy. She loves seeing students light up and catch the jitterbug. A coffee-fueled night owl spreading smiles on the dance floor!
-
Hannah
Hannah discovered Lindy Hop at 17 watching her mum dance at a birthday party – the joy and aliveness caught her completely off guard. It’s healed and taught her everything about connection. She loves watching her students grow and find their style. Ella Fitzgerald fan who DJs, she’s danced both roles for 27 years!
-
Aske
Aske discovered Lindy Hop on a warm summer night at Amager beach when a colleague taught Charleston steps after a team-building event. For him, it’s about joy, connecting, and having space to be yourself within an amazing community. New to teaching, he loves those moments when students start having fun or suddenly “get it.” A fan of Oscar Peterson Trio’s “Daytrain,” he’s traded musical instruments for his bodily instrument!
