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!

Ariane
Description will follow.

Johan
Johan discovered Lindy Hop through YouTube’s Hellzapoppin clip and a skilled bugg dancer who introduced him at Stockholm’s studio. For him, it’s magical partnership interpreting music together. He loves sharing knowledge and watching students make movements their own. Digs Count Basie and is a 3-time discgolf champ!

Finn
Description will follow.

Per
Per discovered Lindy Hop through a 1988 Danish documentary, then took his first steps in London. Meeting Frankie Manning in 1997 sealed his fate. He calls it ‘my god, my light’ – pure joy and freedom. He loves passing knowledge to new dancers. A Chick Webb fan, he co-founded Swingshoes 30 years ago!
-
Isak
Isak started Lindy Hop through university friends and got completely hooked after an awkward beginning. For him, it’s about connecting and sharing ideas in an intuitive, embodied way. He loves helping students overcome hurdles he faced too. Currently grooving to Cab Calloway’s “Pickin’ the Cabbage” and secretly juggles!
