Igor & Kristina Ben

Igor Ben is known as an inspiring dancer and musician. He fell in love with jazz at school. When he learned that jazz can not only be listened but also danced - he set a goal to learn it and very quickly developed himself as a dancer. Now Igor is dancing Lindy Hop, solo jazz, Balboa, Charleston and Blues and has an exceptional vision of dance. He also plays in the band The Changepartners and is educating and developing himself as a musician. Because all of these, musicality seems a quite strong point of his dance.

Since 2011 Igor has been participating in various competitions. He won a lot of cups, including the best leader in Russian version "Glass Zebra" as the best partner, which is awarded on the basis of public voting. Also he won a strictly competition in Herrang Dance Camp together with Anna Yakshina in 2013.

Teaching is a passion of Igor. In a light and cheerful atmosphere, he gives quality dance teaching. The incentive of his teaching is the opportunity to share knowledge and skills through open communication with students. Igor is inspired by seeing that people, after his classes not only get new skills, but also an excellent mood which is the basis for achievements and victories.

Kristina Ben is a versatile dancer. Before the interest in swing styles came she had an experience in dancing and teaching break dance, house dance and hip hop. Now she is an amazing solo jazz dancer and a great follower in such couple dances as Lindy Hop, balboa and blues. Her followers skills, musicality and a freedom of variations is the thing to look at. She won lots of competitions in Russia both in the street styles and in the swing styles. Kristina is also a part of the Changepartners band, she plays the drums that can seem surprising.

Peter & Pavli

They met in 2012 at a little jazz concert in Bratislava, both excited about swing dance and music, both living in area where there was not much swing dancing going on. Imagine the soul match!

Today, Peter and Pavli are seen in finals of competitions all around the continent, teach more and more internationally and belong to exciting young talented teachers of Lindy Hop in Europe.

Typical for Pavli, coming from Czech Republic, is her red hair, lovely smile and decent elegant style spiced up with rocking swivels! Peter is a temperament Slovak with artistic soul, obsessed with jazz & swing music who is a real explosion of energy and creativity not only on the dancing floor! (Because he dances on the bus stop, at streets, in the shop – non stop!;))

Together their styles make inspiring contrast and harmony at once.

In 2013 they joined with three more Lindy hoppers, started a swing dance school in Brno and call themselves Swing Wings. During past two years Swing Wings built a team of 8 teachers and a beautiful scene of almost three hundred dancers, unique spirit and epic parties.
