Fredrik Dahlberg and Mimmi Gunnarsson from Sweden. Once at Swing 'n' Swim, always at Swing 'n' Swim! From their first steps as International Teachers we cannot think SnS without them! 
They started social dancing at Chicago Swing Dance Studio in Stockholm. After many frequent visits, they started to perform in and around Stockholm - since 2012 as members of the dance company Harlem Hot Shots. Between rehersals and regular teaching at Chicago Swing dance Studio, they travel to perform and teach around the world. They get their inspiration from the old movies and loves the raw style of the Savoy ballroom. Watching them dancing and performing it's like they have been out of the old clips of the '30s! Fredrik is also known for singing and playing music at the Hornsgattan Ramblers. Mimmi is the person who has her own dessert named after her! Don't miss to try Mimmi's Salad at the Crepe Store at Armenistis!

Mikaela - Anders (Swe) 


Martin Wedby and Anita Kankimäki has over 30 years of dancing experience both as a social dancers, performer and competitor. Both Anita and Martin competed for several years back in the 1980's and in 1988 Martin won the Swedish championships. Later on he also joined the famous dance group The Rhythm Hot Shots in 1990. Anita joined 1991 and together with his dance partner Anita he was a part of the group for about 4-5 years. During his Lindy Hop career he had the opportunity to work together with both Al Minns and Frankie Manning and be part of over 400 performances both nationally and internationally. They have been teaching in the Herräng Dance Camp for more than 12 years. Having been away from the Lindy Hop scene now for some 15 years Martin is now coming back to the Lindy Hop scene with his partner Anita as “oldtimers”. They want to share the knowledge that was passed to them further to all Lindy Hoppers. They teach in old style social Lindy, african american jazz and the charleston. Together they have developed their own characteristic style in both teaching and dancing. They are without doubt a source of inspiration and bring something unique to the table. They help you improve your dancing in both style, technique and feeling!

Anders is a swing dance instructor and performer based in Stockholm, Sweden. He has studied dances such as ballet, contemporary and modern jazz since the age of 10 and developed a passion for body movements, rhythm and teaching dance. At the age of 13 he fell in love with the African American social dances of the swing era such as Lindy Hop, Vernacular Jazz, Charleston and Tap and has since then been fortunate to teach and perform around Europe, Australia and the USA. Anders jumps on every opportunity to develop himself within performing arts and swing dancing and wants nothing more than to share his passion and knowledge with people all over the world.

Emil Håkansson (Sweden)

Emil Håkansson threw himself in to the scene of social dancing in Stockholm at the age of 22 and has been a passionated part of it since.
