About Mikey Brafford and Eve Johnson

 

Mikey and Eve’s love of swing dancing started during the "Swing Craze" of the late 90s when GAP Swing and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy was all the rage. They began dancing together as members of the UI Flying LindyHawks, the University of Iowa's competitive swing dance performance troupe. As the head Choreographer for the troupe, Mikey led the Team to three straight wins at the Collegiate Jitterbug Championships and a fourth place finish at the Intercollegiate Battle in Colorado! Since their partnership, Mikey and Eve have taught classes and workshops for several groups around the Midwest. Some of which include: The Minneapolis Dance Project, St. Paul Conservatory for the Performing Arts, The University of Iowa, ISU, UNI, Drake, COE, and Step Into Swing. The duo now lead the Twin Cities Swincopators dance team in Minnesota and love experimenting with new choreography. The couple is known around the Midwest for their fast and fancy footwork and their love of Shag dancing. Their style combines Lindy Hop, Boogie Woogie, Shag, Charleston, Hip Hop and everything in between. Mikey and Eve love teaching new students and hope to create a fruitful Swing Dance community in Iowa and around the Midwest.
