Tim has been dancing since he first saw Lindy Hop in Seattle, WA in 1998. What got him hooked was when he noticied that the style of social dance combined the movement and dynamics of martial arts (which he was into at the time) with the musicality, connection and joy of dance. He dropped everything and began dancing 7 days a week.

Since then Tim's Lindy Hop addiction has taken him across the US and Europe,to festivals and camps including the now legendary Herrang Dance Camp in Sweden where he has attended and worked every summer from 2001 until 2009.  He has danced, taught, performed and competed across the US, Canada, Europe, Ghana, and India.

Tim’s other dance experience include a one-year intensive study of traditional African Dance in Ghana, West Africa.  More recently he has become passionate about Argentine Tango. It has fascinated him since he began in 2004, and he has studied, danced, performed and taught ever since.

Malou graduated as a contemporary dancer and choreographer at the Zurich Dance Theatre School. During her education she found her love for swing dance and has since traveled throughout Europe and the US to learn from some of the greatest teachers in the world.

As her main influences she counts Angela Andrew, UK and the Harlem Hot Shots, Sweden.

Among her many performances as a show dancer she has danced in an MTV Video for the swedish band KOOP, and at the Opening Show of the Festival «Masters of Lindy Hop and Tap» in Seattle.

Tim & Malou began working together in 2005. They've held multiple workshops and perfromances across Europe, and began the LindyHopIndia project to tour, teach and perform Lindy Hop in India. They were featured dancing Lindy Hop in a Bollywood film called "Showman" due to come out in 2010.

Tim and Malou’s classes are full of good energy.  They create a very positive and dynamic atmosphere, and imbue their students with inspiration and excitement. They hold nothing back in their teaching.

Dance Across Cultures is their Non-Profit project in Mumbai teaching Lindy Hop and Jazz to underprivileged children. They've produced a film which you can watch here: www.danceacrosscultures.org
