About

In 2009 our dance journey started together. Since then we have been part of the Austrian National Team and have competed in dozens of national and international competitions all over Europe. We are 8-times Austrian Champions and Cup Winners. In addition to more than 300 performances, we have reached several finals at World Cup tournaments and have more than 40 tournament victories in our career. Besides dancing, Andreas is working as a project manager and a requirement engineer. Elsa is finishing her Masters in Global Studies and works in an advertising agency.

Our Projects

BWC Boogiehasen Boogie and the Beach Podcast

Since 2014 we run the club BWC Boogiehasen, which was already founded in 1991 by Andreas parents. The club is not only about Boogie Woogie as a competition dance, but also about the pure pleasure of Boogie Woogie and Swing. Due to our close connections to international top dancers we continuously integrate new techniques and trends into our lessons. In addition to Boogie Woogie, we also incorporate influences from other swing dances such as Lindy Hop, Charleston and Solo Jazz. For over three decades, we have offered a family-like community where dance enthusiasts can meet like-minded people and develop their dancing skills.

Our heart's project: Since 2019 we organize these unique dance holidays, which have already conquered Ibiza and Malta. During the day we shake the leg, enjoy the sun, the beach and the sea. In the evening we meet again at our dance parties. With Boogie and the Beach we want to offer a trip that combines dance, relaxation, holiday feeling and community in a harmonious harmony.

When the world came to a standstill in 2020 and I had already baked tons of cakes, I had the idea of starting a podcast. I wanted to keep in touch with people despite the physical distance. That's how the idea for Swing Dance Diares with Elsa was born.

As Boogie Woogie has been a major part of my live for more than 10 years now, I’ve had the pleaser to meet amazing people from all around Europe on the way. And I wanted to get a sneak peek behind the life of successful and great swing dance professionals that are a huge inspiration to the swing dance community till today. I’ve only uploaded two episodes, with still a few unpublished, but I am planning to start again.
