Ivan Katrunov & Tatiana Georgiievska (Ivan & Tanya)
We are Ivan and Tanya - a boogie-woogie dance couple from Kiev (Ukraine).
Both of us started with acrobatic rock-n-roll in 1994 and 1996 before switching to boogie-woogie and swing in 2002. Until March 2006 we had been training in different couples and living in different cities, which had us competing with each other. Our rivalry grown into a friendship when Ivan invited Tanya to teach in his first Boogie-woogie dance camp "Let's dance 2006!"
In 2009 "Ukraine's got talent" show gave us chance to perform as a dance couple.
And it worked out! At the end of 2010 Ivan moved to Kiev (Tanya's native city) and they agreed on dancing together. Now they practice 5 times a week, compete and teach internationally.

Annette Jahr
Annette started dancing lindy hop when she was a student in Trondheim in 2005 and she has not looked back since. She quickly started teaching, and travelling to workshops in Europe to evolve as a dancer. Since then she has moved to Oslo and is teaching lindy hop and authentic jazz. The technicalities within lindy hop and authentic jazz appeals to the nerdy side of Annette, but she's also playful within her dancing and is often found humming to the tune of a swing song.
