About Us
SugarfootSwing is a swing dancing school founded in 2018 by its two central teachers, Bruno Hargittay and Stephanie Bellmaine. They met on the social dance floor in 2017 in Frankfurt am Main, and decided to team up to offer classes to the growing swing community in Frankfurt. They are both crazy obsessed with the dance form, and are almost a little bit too excited about sharing their enthusiasm for the dance with anyone and everyone in their vicinity.
Stephanie Bellmaine
Stephanie began learning swing dancing in 2007 in Melbourne, Australia, and moved to Germany in 2016. She dances equally as a lead and follow, and honestly could not tell you which she prefers. She loves all tempos and all styles, from slow and sensual blues to hoppinโ mad collegiate shag, but most of all she loves the feeling of bringing the dance she loves into other people’s lives. Stephanie teaches mostly as a hobby, and is a professional chemist during daylight hours.
Bruno Hargittay
Locally beloved dancer whose expertise has risen quickly since he started swing dancing in 2014 due to his overwhelming enthusiasm and his excessive diet of international workshop attendance. He started teaching lindy hop in 2016 after moving back to Germany from Sweden. When he’s not dancing you may find him standing in a lab working on his PhD in Chemistry at the Goethe University. Mind you, he’ll probably still be triple stepping ๐
