🧑‍🏫 Teachers & Artists

Daniil Nikulin and Maria Filippova are a dance couple from Lyon, France (originally from Russia) who discovered Lindy Hop in 2012. In 2013, Daniil also pursued extensive training in solo jazz, including with the internationally renowned Ksenia Parkhatskaya, bringing a wealth of dance experience to his classes. Maria sees the potential in jazz dances and wants to give something back to the world—a place where everyone is united, connected, and accepted in their uniqueness. In their classes, they emphasize clear communication within the couple, efficient technique, and making dancing feel effortless, relaxed, and expressive. Their calm, humorous approach and keen sense of swing music help dancers develop their own style and move confidently and creatively on the dance floor.

Thorbjørn Urskog & Flora Bouchereau are an internationally acclaimed dance couple from Scandinavia who have been shaping the swing scene for years with their explosive energy and technically brilliant interpretation of Boogie Woogie & Lindy Hop. Together, they have won multiple World and European Championship titles in Boogie Woogie and captivate audiences worldwide at social dances, shows, and workshops with their powerful musicality, creative figures, and infectious stage presence. Their teaching and show sessions combine playful ease with a deep understanding of rhythm, partner connection, and the swing spirit – ideal for anyone seeking inspiration and passion for dance.

Fredi and Konrad Bärhold are a passionate Lindy Hop instructor couple from Mainz who have been active in the swing scene for years, inspiring dancers of all levels with the "Lindy Bug." Together, they regularly teach Lindy Hop and Solo Jazz, combining playful ease with a deep sense of rhythm and connection. Their open and energetic approach inspires both beginners and advanced dancers alike.
