The
Killer Dillers.

best
dancer you can be.

 Andrew & EvinAndrew
Twiss (Chicago, US) and Evin Galang (Atlanta, US) have been teaching,
performing and competing together since 2000. Their love of movement,
connection, musicality and communication shows, both in their dancing
and in their instruction. Using a clear teaching style with a healthy
dose of humor, Evin and Andrew make classes as much fun as they are
informative.
When they're not on the dance floor or in the classroom, Andrew is
making musicians shine with his super skills in audio engineering, and
Evin is devising new ways to lure people into dancing. Often by
employing delicious baked goods.

 Pontus & Lizette
Pontus and Lizette started dancing together 1999 when they were both about to be 10 years old. They started to compete in Boogie Woogie and about 2 years later also Lindy Hop. During the years they've been competing, they amongst other gained 1st place in the Swedish- and the World Championship in Boogie Woogie Junior. And twice 4th place Lindy Hop Championship Main Class which one of them is a 3rd place in the Showcase Division.
In 2008 they moved from their hometown Borås to Stockholm for different but similar reasons. Pontus started working with the Harlem Hot Shots, and Lizette took a dance education at "The Ballet Academy".
Pontus and Lizette are still competing while teaching around Sweden and the world. They both believe strongly in individuality and to evolve every dancer in his or her own direction. However they think it is important to have the right rhythm and feeling that results in the term Swing dancing. They have enjoyed the "old way" of dancing and that retro style reflects in their own dancing. As Pontus and Lizette puts it: Keep it old, keep it cool.
