NEJC ZUPAN (SLO)


Mako met Lindy Hop at age 16. Swing music, dance and the dance community have been a big part of her life ever since. When she visited New Orleans, the birthplace of Jazz in 2010, she was moved by how closely the musicians and dancers were connected – the music was always accompanied by dancing. This prompted her to start improvising jazz and perform with live bands – whether it be the corner of her room, Royal Albert Hall or any streets with that swinging music. Until now, she has mostly been focusing on performing and social dancing, but she also has taught workshops all over the world, from the UK to South Korea to Guinea Conakry. Apart from continuing to find her own voice in jazz dancing, she is most passionate about sharing the joy and therapeutic power of dance through teaching. Some of the most inspiring jazz artists for her are Duke Ellington, Erroll Garner and Dr. Jeni Le Gon.

Maria started dancing boogie-woogie in Yaroslavl, Russia in 2009, at the age of 15. Since then
dance became the most fundamental part of her life starting as her little hobby, growing into her
primer passion, profession and who knows, maybe even mission for life.
In 2012 she moved to Moscow, met Daniil Nikulin who has became her dance partner in crime for
at least 10 years. In Moscow she discovered lindy hop and found herself being completely in love
with jazz music and jazz dance for their depth, freedom and joy that it gives her.
Since 2016 Maria has been invited to teach, perform and compete to many swing dance events in
more than 20 countries all around the world, she got various placements in high level
competitions in Europe and USA.

something that the world on a big scale is missing — the place where everyone is united and
connected, accepted in their own uniqueness.
