Tim discovered Lindy Hop in a small town outside of Seattle, WA in 1998. He noticed that this style of social dance combined the movement and dynamics of martial arts of which he was an avid participant), with the musicality, connection and joy of dance. He immediately fell in love with it.

Lindy Hop has taken Tim to countless festivals in the US and Europe, including the now legendary Herrang Dance Camp in Sweden where he has attended and worked every summer from 2001 until 2008.  He has danced, taught, performed and competed across the US, Canada, Europe, Ghana, and India.

Tim’s other dance experience include a one-year intensive study of traditional African Dance in Ghana, West Africa.  More recently he has become passionate about Argentine Tango. It has fascinated him since he began in 2004, and he has studied, danced, performed and taught ever since.

Malou graduated as a contemporary dancer and choreographer at the Zurich Dance Theatre School. During her education she found her love for swing dance and has since traveled throughout Europe and the US to learn from some of the greatest teachers in the world.

As her main influences she counts Angela Andrew, UK and the Harlem Hot Shots, Sweden.

Among her many performances as a show dancer she has danced in an MTV Video for the swedish band KOOP, and at the Opening Show of the Festival «Masters of Lindy Hop and Tap» in Seattle.

Tim and Malou’s classes are full of good energy.  They create a very positive and dynamic atmosphere, and imbue their students with inspiration and excitement. They hold nothing back in their teaching.
