  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!
