Alex & Jill

Jill & Alex have both been dancing from a very early age but come from different backgrounds: Alex is Benelux vice champion of Breakdancing and has taught since 2006, whereas Jill studied in different renowned contemporary dance schools in Brussels. Having both fallen in love with the old school style of Lindy Hop and Authentic Jazz, they focus on foundation, individual expression, style and authenticity. They challenge you in staying controlled yet uninhibited; leave great individual freedom yet still remain a partnership, to dance the move instead of doing the move. Jill and Alex are very much inspired by old clips showcasing a raw style of Lindy Hop and they have at heart to stay true to the legacy of the originators. They love flashy steps, fast dancing and aerials but also enjoy a chill swing, slow drag blues, a jazzy bebop or a fancy mambo. Back in Brussels they train with their performance groups, the Old Soulz and the Jazz Maniacs, which they co-founded in 2016. Podium : Winners of Champions Cup (Savoy Cup 2024), 2x Winner of Team City
