Filip began his adventure with swing dancing in 2013 in Warsaw. When Collegiate Shag appeared on Polish dance floors for the first time two years later, he quickly became fascinated with this energetic and joyful dance. A little later, he joined the choreographic group Warsaw Shag Team, with which he performed, among others, at the Dragon Swing and BCN Shag festivals. Filip has been involved in music for years - he plays the guitar, trombone and mandolin. He is also one of the founders of the New Orleans jazz band - The Cajun Spices. His passion for music is reflected in the way he dances. During classes, he willingly works on technique and basics but his main domain in dance is unbridled energy.

Karolina Chrapkova, originally from the Slovak Republic, has been dancing since the age of three. Performing traditional folk dances as a child, her professional training began with the ballet academy. Accumulating dance experiences in Latin (Jive, Cha-Cha, Salsa, Afro-Cuban, Rumba) and Contemporary, Karolina found Swing when she moved to Copenhagen. She then focused on the Charleston, Collegiate/St.Louis Shag, Balboa, Lindy Hop, Solo Jazz, and Boogie. In 2017, she began performing, teaching, and winning numerous competitions internationally. She currently teaches at the Happy Feet Studio in Copenhagen and recently got certified as Yogi master in India. Upon meeting Minn Vo, they discovered their shared passion for performing. Their ensuing friendship resulted in an athletic approach to the movement, acrobatic additions to her repertoire, and ultimately a spot dancing with The Hollywood Hotshots. Karolina has since performed with Minn internationally in Austria (Alpine Jitterbugs), Germany (Shag Ahoy), Poland (Warsaw Collegiate Shag festival), Italy ( Winter Jamboree) and even overseas in the USA.

Sergej’s journey of swing dancing started in 2015 at the Vintage Club in Munich. Being surrounded by international dance teachers and the local legends Marcus and Bärbl who pushed him in Lindy hop, Shag, Balboa and Solo Jazz, he started teaching in 2017 at the Vintage Club. Nowadays he’s teaching all the swing dances, but his passion is Shag, because of its dynamics! Nevertheless, he still continues to visit local and international classes to learn new things.

In competitions he got placed and won various international competitions. One of his favorites is the endurance contest where his childhood nickname of being an “Energizer bunny” still comes out.

In their Vintage Club Showgroup he’s part of the choreographing team, who create mixed choreographies and perform them on multiple stages.

His main goal is to spread the joy of dancing no matter which occasion it might be. Come to Augsburg to learn and dance with him!

Don't be confused, in the beginning Karolina should teach together with Minn Vo, but unfortunately Minn cannot make it to the event. So Karolina will teach with Sergej!
