Felix Berghäll is an internationally recognized dancer, choreographer, educator, and DJ, deeply rooted in Lindy Hop and African American Vernacular Jazz. Having danced since the age of 8, his passion for the rhythms and history of jazz has led to a dedicated career exploring, preserving, and sharing these expressive dance forms with the world.

As an artist and choreographer, Felix has created and participated in numerous stage productions at prestigious venues globally – from the Apollo Theater in New York and the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao to the Swedish National Arena in Stockholm. A strong connection to the origins and cultural context of the music and dance characterizes his work.

Alongside his stage work, Felix is a dedicated educator and coach, including serving as Co-Head Coach for the Swedish National Lindy Hop team and lecturing on jazz history and culture.
