Founder of HBC and one of the founders of OBF. A teacher with many years of experience (teaching since 2010), who raised numerous generations of dancers in Kyiv and Oslo during his stay in Norway. At the same time, his classes are as effective as possible, because he can always find a personal approach to each student. He has experience in both social and competitive boogie, including competitions in international tournaments, as well as various styles, including Shag and Lindy Hop. But the most important thing is that he is the keeper of the authentic culture of music and dance of the 40s-50s - the original style, which atmosphere you will immerse yourself for sure at the classroom.

Maria started dancing boogie-woogie in 2012 in the dance studio near her work. Since first lesson, Masha was attracted by music and cheerful teachers. She also found her future husband thanks to boogie-woogie.
Maria had previously practiced various dance styles, but boogie (and swing dancing in general) allows to experience freedom, joy in dancing and, what is very important, to apply dancing skills at a variety of parties and performances of musical groups at once. There is no need to constantly learn the same unfamiliar choreography, look for a partner for classes - you can dance to your favorite music with any partner.
Maria started teaching in 2014. It forced her to grow even more over herself and to teach others to act in the same way. She likes to watch how people relax in dance, and the more they learn the more they enjoy dancing. Maria “raised” dozens of dancers together with her husband Serhiy over the years of teaching.

Serhii started practicing boogie-woogie in 2009. He agreed to make a company for a girl from his study group, because usually girls are more active in practicing couple dancing than the boys. Serhii liked this activity so much that later he tried almost all dance schools and styles of swing dancing available in Kyiv. The secret of such enthusiasm lies in beloved music and a friendly dance community. Dancing for Serhii is something that allows you to develop creativity, it is an activity for the soul.
Serhii started teaching at the end of 2014. He likes to open the magical world of swing dancing to new people, introduce "newcomers" to music bands and driving parties, share his favorite music as a DJ at these parties. Perhaps that is why Serhii became one of the key people responsible for club's dance events organization.

Anya’s acquaintance with swing began with music: she often attended rock-n-roll concerts and festivals (including Ukrabilli Vybukh), where she watched the dancing crowd. And over time, she realized that she wanted not only to watch, but also to dance with them.
She started to take Boogie-Woogie classes in spring of 2011, a year later Lindy Hop was added, and after a while Coligiate Shag.
For Anya, boogie-woogie is first of all the drive, the awesome energy and the inability to resist to the fiery rhythms of rock-n-roll and jump-blues. It is new acquaintances with completely different people who are united by an interest in swing; it is travelings and parties till the morning to the swing music. And also, thanks to boogie-woogie, Anya met her husband Taras. :)
Together, they visited many international dance events across Europe (and a little bit outside it), participated in various competitions and dance contests, became the prizewinners of the Ukrainian Cup in boogie-woogie. Anya often gets into the finals of various jack-n-jills, not only in Ukraine, but also abroad, and not only in boogie-woogie (for example, in her arsenal there is a 3rd place in Collegiate Shag Jack-n-Jill at International Event in Krakow).
Anya started teaching boogie-woogie in 2015, and a little later and collegiate shag. She likes to share her energy and delight from swing dances, she likes to watch how people are inspired by this energy and try to find their own style, although, we must say, Anya pays a lot of attention to dance technique, especially when preparing the couples for competitions.
As a teacher, Anya participated in dance events in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Khmelnitsky and Krakow. Now she is also engaged in coaching. And in 2018, she passed the exam for a boogie-woogie judge in the Federation of Acrobatic Rock-and-Roll of Ukraine.
Now Anya is actively engaged in the development of Hot Boogie Club (and the development of the swing community in Kyiv and Ukraine, as a whole), takes part in organizing various events (parties, competitions, master classes). And also, together with other organizers, for several years now has been arranging an international dance event in Kyiv - October Boogie Fest.

Ksenia came to the boogie classes in 2011. And could not stop. Before that she went through a few hobbies. She danced oriental dances, played badminton, went in for horse riding. But boogie captured her for many years.
Later lindy hop, solo jazz and collegiate shag added. Most of all Ksusha likes shag, because this is fun in its pure form and continuous positive.
In dancing Ksenia found her best friends, her favorite music, the opportunity to perform in public and travel a lot. Ksenia regularly attends various festivals and dancing camps, as far as swing dancing is a great worldwide community, which allows to meet mew people and have much fun on a dancefloor in almost every country.
Ksenia started teaching in 2018. She likes to share the delight from dance, to understand the principles of interaction in a pair and to observe the growth of students. It's so great when you find some thread to pull, and a person starts to get something that did not work out before.
