Felipe Braga (Solo Jazz)

Felipe Braga is a Brazilian jazz dance artist, choreographer and educator based in Berlin, Germany. Many wonder how Felipe Braga learned Lindy Hop so quickly: from a novice dancer cleaning the bathroom and mopping the floor at Folkets Hus to a Herrang instructor in just three years. The explanation is simple: his life before Lindy prepared him for what was to come. Theater training has given Felipe body awareness and control, as well as the ability to improvise, both in his energetic warm-up in class and in the competitions where he always shines. But more important than all that, Felipe embodied the spirit of Lindy Hop long before he knew it existed. It’s hard to find anyone who doesn’t like Felipe. Her warm personality charms every dancer she meets, and her ability to connect with people in conversation carries over to the dance floor.
