NEJC ZUPAN

is one of the first new age swing dancers in Slovenia. He is the founder and leader of the performing group Besne gliste and the main person behind the growing popularity of Lindy Hop in Slovenia. He acquired his knowledge at several worldly workshops, where he worked with instructors such as Ryan Francois, Angela Andrew, Hanna Zetterman and Mattias Lundmark (Rhythm Hot Shots), Johnny Lloyd,  Max Pitruzzella and Mike Faltasek. His experiences in the field of contemporary motion theater (classes led by well-known instructors such as Ivan Peternelj, Branko Potočan and Louise Edith Frankenhuis), music and classic theater enable him a fresh and amusing approach to teaching and developing the Slovenian swing scene. He pays special attention to Lindy Hop, Charleston, to the jazz movement and musicality, which are a sine qua non in swing.
