Billy & Shai (Israel)

Shai Ben David and Billy Lee Fogel

Billy and Shai are internationally recognized and acclaimed Swing dancers from Israel. For nearly a decade now, they have immersed themselves in the world of jazz and Swing – dancing, performing, competing, and teaching at home and across the globe.

Their growth as dancers has been deeply intertwined, and their partnership is fueled by a love for the music, a passion for playfulness and experimentation, a bold curiosity to explore ever new and exciting possibilities within the dance style, as well as a profound respect and appreciation for its historical and cultural roots.

Guided by the belief that Swing dancing is both a joyful force that enriches life
and a gift meant to be shared, Billy and Shai dedicate their work to spreading that joy with as many people as possible – including you.

Güneş and Marcus (Hamburg)

Güneş Göker & Marcus Zieboll discovered Lindy Hop for themselves in 2013. “Lindy Hop changed their lives!” they still say today and travelled through Europe – from festival to festival, from dance scene to dance scene. From 2016 to 2021, they ran their own small dance studio “HappyFeet Stuttgart” and have now been based in Hamburg since the end of 2021.

Güneş has a corresponding pedagogical background, which she has further developed and adapted in teaching dance and movement. Marcus has an analytical strategy for breaking down new moves into their individual movements, understanding them and passing them to the course participants.
