Felix Berghäll is a choreographer, performer, educator, music researcher, and DJ in Lindy Hop and African American Vernacular Jazz. He studied sports coaching and science at the Swedish School of Sport and Health Science in Stockholm. He has been part of the national team as an athlete in Boogie Woogie and Lindy Hop and is now Co-Head Coach with his partner Mikaela Hellsten for the national team of Lindy Hop in Sweden.

Felix has been dancing since he was eight, training and competing in the Swedish dance style Bugg and Lindy Hop, Boogie Woogie, and Double Bugg. All dances derived from Lindy Hop and African American Vernacular Jazz. He was in love from the beginning and was really, and still is, taken by the music.

He also leads a new NGO as a board member and treasurer, Collective Voices for Change, along with other dancers and scholars, to create a platform to address social issues in the Jazz dance community. The initiative’s current focus is to discuss the problems of cultural appropriation and racial injustice.
