Teachers

Daniel & Åsa Heedman (Sweden)

We have been dancing Lindy Hop for more than 20 years, and have been dance partners since 2004. We have both been teaching and performing across Europe, North America and Asia together with the legendary swing dance troupe The Harlem Hot Shots (formerly the Rhythm Hot Shots) and have at several times been on both national and international television. We have dedicated many years focusing only on Lindy Hop and other dances from the same era like Authentic Jazz, Tap, Slow Drag and Charleston.
Frankie Manning is our true and biggest inspiration and our goal is to continue spreading his spirit and love for Lindy Hop the best we can.
​
When we teach we focus on getting the best out of each and every one of our students, meaning: helping you find your personal and unique way of expressing yourself. We also put a big emphasis on musicality and rhythms - the more you understand, hear and feel the music / rhythms / energy the better you will be able to express yourself as a dancer.

To us Lindy Hop is a true street dance and we do all we can to keep it like that and not let it transform in to a Ballroom dance. Lindy Hop is Jazz - free from boundaries and rules. To us being a good dancer is not about advanced technical skills or how many figures you know, but rather if you dare to feel and express yourself.

Good dancing makes you smile!
