Cherry & Filip
Cherry and Filip met in 2013 on a Lindy Hop course in SWINGOUT.PL dance studio. They started to dance Collegiate Shag in 2014 among a bunch of enthusiasts who brought it to Warsaw, and partnered up while performing with the Warsaw Shag Team.
- Cherry, do You want to be the best in the world one day? (Filip)
- Yes, why not… (Cherry)
- Me too, so let’s get to work! (Filip)
With this frivolous conversation they started to work together and train regularly. After 3 months they won the Strictly Shag competition during Warsaw Collegiate Shag Festival and after 6 months they became instructors in SWINGOUT.PL. Since that moment they teach regularly Lindy Hop and Collegiate Shag around Poland and abroad.
Their dance is full of energy. Cherry dances with a wild Latin temperament, elegance and open head, playing with the rhythm and shaking things out. She loved to dance since she remembers. At the age of 6 she started with ballet and contemporary, then switched to ballroom and lyrical jazz for a while.
Filip is a musician for many years, playing on the guitar, trombone and mandoline. He’s one of the founders of The Cajun Spices - a Polish gypsy jazz band. His passion reflects the way he dances and makes it a fine form of expression.
They are full of enthusiasm, looking for new ideas and challenges. The first class they gave together was held in a Zoo for a group of children.
Maren & Bogdan
Maren and Bogdan fell in love with Lindy Hop around the same time, one in Bulgaria, one in Austria. Meeting at several events over the years they started their dance partnership in 2017 when both living in Vienna. Ever since they have been teaching, training and competing together. But most of all they are having fun exploring the music with all the possibilities a well connected partnership offers. Creating new rhythms and shapes are only some of their passions.
