    #144 Stop overthinking and being fully present when dancing - with Lindsey Ngo & Krystel Chevallier | Jurassic Bal & Boogie Down South | Swing scene in Australia

    Here we are at Snowball in Stockholm, sitting with Lindsey Ngo and Krystel Chevallier for an opposite of a small-talk. We had an open-hearted conversation about how swing dancing can become a place of belonging. Krystel shares how she began dancing balboa ten years ago in Australia and how the dance community stepped into her life at a moment when she felt alone after her divorce. Dancing became the thing that stopped her mind from overthinking, the thing that made her feel alone. She talks about the partnership side of swing dancing, the joy of building Jurassic Bal event, and the sweet story of her future life partner taking a photo of her at her first dance event, in a moment of pure joy and that he later printed for her. Lindsey came to Australia from the USA ten years ago and found her way into dancing six years back. She now helps run a small but warm local scene of about fifty dancers. For her, dancing began with loving the music as a kid, and it is the moment when she feels fully present. She shares a beautiful memory from a no shoe event, dancing softly to the music of Jessie Gordon and Mark Turner, in a room so quiet it felt almost magical. They both share inspiring tips & stories, and answer Kristyna’s question from the previous episode about their very first memories of dancing swing.

    #143 Feeling normal when dancing after getting a diagnose - with Kristýna Krejzlová | The Snowball | Blues scene in Brno

    Here we are at Snowball in Stockholm, finally sitting down to record this long-awaited episode with Kristýna Krejzlová. Kristýna is a swing and blues dancer from Brno in the Czech Republic, a growing teacher, and a fresh trombone player who is falling even deeper in love with the music and community around these dances. She shares how discovering Lindy Hop just weeks after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis gave her one hour every week where she felt “normal” and fully alive again - and how dance still helps her stay active, present, and connected. We talk about feeling most yourself on the dance floor, blues rooms, secret Herräng parties with dim lights and colorful dots on the ceiling, and why “never stop dancing” might be the best advice of all. Kristýna also reflects on sensitivity and that “sixth sense” dancers develop, plus how the Brno scene works to honor the roots of the dance through culture-focused teaching, talks, and even a little dance library. And, of course, she passes on a beautiful chain question for the next guest: what is your very first memory of dancing Lindy Hop, blues, or another swing dance? What's yours?
