Felix Berghall

Felix Berghäll (He/Him) is an internationally recognized dancer, choreographer, educator, and DJ, deeply rooted in Lindy Hop and African American Vernacular Jazz. Having danced since the age of 8, his passion for the rhythms and history of jazz has led to a dedicated career exploring, preserving, and sharing these expressive dance forms with the world.


As an artist and choreographer, Felix has created and participated in numerous stage productions at prestigious venues globally – from the Apollo Theater in New York and the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao to the Swedish National Arena in Stockholm. His background also includes competing at an elite level as part of the Swedish national team in Boogie Woogie and Lindy Hop. He has produced his own works, such as "Swingin' at the Savoy Show" and "Rhythm Korea Show" in Seoul, toured with live bands, and is a sought-after performer and instructor at over 60 festivals and events worldwide. A strong connection to the origins and cultural context of the music and dance characterizes his work.


Alongside his stage work, Felix is a dedicated educator and coach, including serving as Co-Head Coach for the Swedish National Lindy Hop team and lecturing on jazz history and culture. His engagement also extends to organizational work; he co-founded the non-profit organization Collective Voices For Change (CVFC) and has held several key coordinating and administrative roles at Herräng Dance Camp, the world's largest Lindy Hop camp.


Felix Berghäll is a dynamic and versatile force in the jazz dance world, constantly working to develop both his own artistry and the community around him through performance, education, production, and social engagement. Learn more about Felix: www.felixberghall.com

Adam Brozowski

Adam Brozowski (He/Him) is the co-founder of Queer Swing Seattle and has been Lindy Hopping since he was 10. Originally from Seattle, Washington, he has spent over a decade on the international scene—teaching, competing, and performing. Adam wears many hats, an accomplished actor, choreographer and event producer with experience in both theatrical and commercial projects.


As a dancer, Adam has been a leading voice in developing queer-positive approaches to Lindy Hop, both on and off the dance floor. He has tirelessly advocated for inclusive spaces that celebrate and empower intersectional queer identities within the swing dance community. One of the things he's most proud of recently was competing in full drag last year at Camp Hollywood as his alter ego Miss Free'da Follow.


Adam shared a close bond with his mentor, the legendary Queen of Swing, Norma Miller. Over the years, he assisted and traveled with her, helping to produce events that celebrated her remarkable legacy. In honor of Norma’s passing, Adam launched the Global Trickeration Project, and he remains dedicated to supporting initiatives that uplift both her memory and the broader legacy of Black American contributions to Lindy Hop and Jazz.


Deeply passionate about teaching, Adam focuses on creating learning environments that foster self-expression, and musicality over gender based partner power-dynamics while striving to center Black American cultural values. His classes are often game-based and exploratory—a refreshing contrast to the more rigid ways he was taught.


Adam is thrilled to be teaching again with his longtime friend Felix in Seattle again for the first time since 2018. Learn more about Adam: www.AdamBrozowski.com
