MAXIME LIPPERT
When jazz reaches those high notes, Maxime improvises like a bebop-era saxophone, using the freedom of spins, slides, and splits. Maxime dances in Brussels with The Old Soulz and The Jazz Maniacs, two performance groups inspired by Afro-American dances like Lindy Hop and Authentic Jazz. Digging through old clips to find the flash moves, he discovered the Hoofers, jazz-era tap dancers like Jimmy Slyde, the Nicholas Brothers, and others... and started learning some rhythmic variations to spice up his jazz. He will share his passion with us through good vibes in class during the day and in the jams and socials at night.

For her, the essence of dance lies in the spirit of sharing energy, being oneself while staying connected to the present moment, to the music, and to one’s partner.
BANDS
Song' Swing 2025
Mama’s Way
Mama’Sway’s live shows are energetic, engaging parties.
Born from an idea by dancer and performer Vincenzo Fesi, the band was created with the goal of getting everyone on their feet to dance and have fun. It doesn’t matter whether you know how to dance or not—Mama’Sway will get you moving with a repertoire rooted in the sounds of early 20th-century African American tradition. It’s a journey that starts with swing and leads to the first soul tracks of the 1950s, where popular stories and events are told through music and dance.

Milanoans
Formed in Milan in 1990, the band was born to bring back the warm jazz sounds of early 1900s New Orleans and the roaring Chicago of the 1920s, featuring Charleston, foxtrot, one-step, and traditional blues rooted in African American culture. Their repertoire spans from the 1920s to the 1940s.
Alongside Dixieland, Charleston, and hot jazz, they offer a wide selection of danceable swing, perfect for Lindy Hop and Balboa nights and festivals.
They perform entirely acoustically—with amplification deliberately kept to a minimum—dressed in pure Dixieland style: two-tone shoes, pinstripe suits, suspenders, and bow ties.
