Surrounded by green grass and fluffy white clouds, Norway-based swing dance team Sondre Olsen-Bye and Tanya Georgiievska boogie woogie on top of the world to Buonasera Signorina, a song by Italian swing band Jumpin’up.
Dance partners since 2015, the boogie woogie world champions performed their hilltop routine in 2021 for a feature on NRK, the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation.
Since the video, they’ve continued to compete, teach, and perform around Europe and beyond, including at the Festival International de Boogie Woogie de La Roquebrou, where they sped up their moves to keep up with the band.
Sondre and Tanya teach online lessons, and can be found on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, and YouTube.
