During the Rock That Swing Festival, the famous dance duo of Nils and Bianca once again showed everyone why they’re considered one of the bests in their craft.
As stated on their website, the Rock That Swing Festival:
“Celebrates the diversity of the dances and music of the Swing and Rock’n’Roll era from the 20s to the 50s. Over a span of 5 days, fantastic dance nights, hot live music, shows, competitions, numerous workshops, dance masters from the 30s, and passionate dancers from all over the world create an inspiring and unforgettable atmosphere.”
And their regulars are world-class dancers, Nils and Bianca.
A formidable dance duo.
As mentioned on their official website, Bianca and Nils are dedicated swing dance professionals who work as teachers, performers, and choreographers.
They specialize in Lindy Hop and Boogie Woogie, with a particular focus on Lindy Hop, which is a partner dance that originated in Harlem, New York, during the 1920s and 30s.
Both Bianca and Nils are part of the Swedish national team for Boogie Woogie and Lindy Hop.
They have achieved success in various Swedish competitions, including winning the Swedish championships.
They have also garnered titles in international competitions such as the International Lindy Hop Championship (ILHC), Camp Hollywood, and the European Swing Dance Championship, as well as several Boogie Woogie competitions.
Swing dancing holds a special place in their hearts because it brings people together and spreads joy.
They believe it is more than just a dance, as it carries a profound meaning and historical significance.
Bianca and Nils embrace the challenges of practicing, creating, and expressing themselves through dance.
Their goal is to assist their students in becoming the best dancers they can be while fostering an understanding of the values inherent in these dances. Additionally, they aim to entertain and move spectators during their performances.
“Crazy” on their feet.
That’s how the video described the performance of Bianca and Nils, and after watching the video, you’d understand why.
It’s the Tutuboogie part of the festival wherein Boogie Woogie dancers and musicians gather together to meet and talk about their shared common passion.
Boogie dance, also known as Boogie Woogie, is a style of swing dance that originated in the United States during the 1930s and 40s.
It evolved alongside the Boogie Woogie music genre, characterized by its fast tempo and infectious rhythm.
With that description alone, you should know by now how crazily beautiful this performance is going to be.
So, brace yourself because you might end up dancing along with Nils and Bianca.
As soon as the music started, the powerhouse duo also came in, dashing and bouncing like there was no tomorrow.
It’s just the opening salvo of their performance, but the audience was already screaming their lungs out to cheer the duo.
Not only those who knew swing or boogie woogie would appreciate Nils and Bianca.
In fact, one of the millions of people who saw the video online who happened to be a break dancer was able to appreciate their craft:
“As a dancer myself ( Break dancer) I can appreciate the skill, drive, energy, physical effort, flow, timing, synchronisation and speed. That was fantastic to watch. Top notch dancing, respect!!”
