Dance styles have changed a lot over the years. But classics like the swing have remained a favorite among every generation. This American dance style was in full bloom from the thirties to the mid-forties, with that whole decade being dubbed as the ‘Swing Era.’
Over the years, swing has evolved, but it hasn’t died. In fact, it has served as a foundation for disco, country line dancing, and hip hop!

Bianca Locatelli and her dance partner Nils Andrén are professional dancers best known for their energetic swing dance moves. The two have gained a lot of fame in the dance community by teaching, competing, and performing in front of live audiences.
Bianca has been dancing since she was a kid. It may be hard to believe, but she didn’t start with ballroom! She experimented with other sports like ballet and football before finding her footing with swing dancing.
Since Nil and Biance first started swing dancing, you can tell they have a great dynamic.

Nils and Bianca eventually met in 2013 when the latter moved to Sweden. Together, they’ve left quite an impression on the industry. Their fan base grew even larger when videos of them dancing started appearing on YouTube. One of the most popular clips is their performance of “Hey Baby,” a song originally written by Margaret Cobb and Bruce Channel back in 1961. If it doesn’t ring a bell, then you may remember it from the hit 1987 film, Dirty Dancing.
