Teachers

Wilma and Viktor are siblings who started dancing at the ages of six and seven. Their journey began with Swedish Bugg and took a turning point when they discovered Lindy Hop and Boogie Woogie at a small dance camp. Largely self-taught in the early years, their passion and dedication led them to become members of the Swedish National Team in both Lindy Hop and Boogie Woogie.

They are World Champions in Boogie Woogie 2023, with recent highlights including a 3rd place at the Snowball Champions Cup qualifier and a quarterfinal placement at ILHC Europe 2025 in the Strictly Challenge division, the performance you’re watching here 🔥

With a strong background in jazz, modern dance, ballet, and choreography, Wilma and Viktor bring musicality, joy, and depth to both their dancing and teaching. They love social dancing, performing, and sharing the cultural values behind the dances they practice, always creating a positive and inspiring learning environment.
