Bianca& Nils

Bianca and Nils are full time swing dance teachers, performers and choreographers.

Started dancing when they were kids. They have performed and competed with other partners in their home countries (Italy and Sweden) in different dances like ballet, lindy hop swing, latin dances, hip hop, ballroom and the Swedish bugg. Both Bianca and Nils got stuck in swing dancing and music, their biggest passion at a very young age. Their paths crossed when Bianca moved to Sweden at the age of sixteen and that’s when they started performing and competing together.

Their teaching career started short after that. Nowadays they travel globally for teaching workshops at festivals, performing and competing. They love to teach what they believe in all around the world. It gives them inspiration, happiness and satisfaction. Bianca and Nils like to bring their love for the dance through energy and enthusiasm on stage and they like to make all their students feel comfortable in expressing themselves through their dancing.

Elze& Peter

Elze and Peter are maybe just the right amount of crazy you’ve been looking for.

She comes from Lithuania, while he comes from Los Angeles and together, they have this Euro-American style all about fun and connectedness. Their musicality, playfulness, and creativity are not just parts of their light-hearted personalities as dancers, but also as instructors. For them, Lindy Hop is much more than only leading and following… it’s dancing… trying to feel your partner… and in the meantime having a freaking great time!

Their energy is contagious and their class material is stimulating. Be prepared for loud laughs, crazy fun, and exciting new moves!

Alice& César

Alice began dancing at a young age and discovered Lindy Hop in 2003, quickly developing a passion for the dance.

Over the years, she has become an internationally recognized dancer, with numerous finalist and prizewinning placements at major competitions including ULHS, ALHC, and ILHC. With over 20 years of experience, Alice continues to explore, grow, and challenge herself through new collaborations and disciplines such as tap dance. Her dancing is driven by rhythm, musicality, quality of movement, and the playful spirit of swing. As a teacher, Alice encourages self-expression, connection, and authenticity, helping dancers explore both their partnership and their own unique relationship with the music.

Born and raised in Spain, but currently based in France, César had his first contact with swing dancing in his early twenties. In 2016, he fell in love with Lindy Hop, when he discovered that it is a language on its own through which you can communicate with others. From then on he became a passionate of the swing culture and dances (specially Lindy Hop, Solo Jazz and Tap dancing). He travels continuously nationally and internationally to improve his dancing and teaching skills. His dance is based on freedom, improvisation and rhythm. César has a relaxed and soft dance but also expansive and frenetic.
