    After a brief break, we’re back—and what a way to restart the journey! In this episode, I sit down with the amazing Jessica Kaiser, a renowned Austrian swing dancer whose love for Boogie Woogie began at just eight years old. Alongside her long-time partner Markus, better known as Kuschi, Jessy has spent over 15 years competing at the highest levels, teaching across Europe, and co-founding the beloved 567 Swing Dance Camp. We dive into the magic of small festivals, what truly matters to Jessy when she’s teaching, and the secret to her and Kuschi’s enduring success. Plus, we explore the profound role dance plays in her life and how she continues to inspire dancers around the world. It’s a heartfelt, joyful conversation about passion, partnership, and the love of swing dance. Don’t miss it! If there's anything you've always wanted to ask Jessy, here's your chance.

    Episode #01 | Flora Bouchereau (FR) & Thorbjørn Urskog (NOR)

    Flora and Thorbjørn, two times World Champions and European Champions in Boogie Woogie, decided to leave the life as full time dance teachers behind and go in a new direction. Still a big inspiration for today's generation, they decided to take a different approach at life and get "traditional" jobs. They look back at the time when they were still competing and talk about what they don't miss about being a swing dance teacher, travelling the world most of the time.
