Philippe Amar & Giulia Kohlrusch

Philippe grew up in the dance world. At a young age he devoted himself to Boogie-Woogie where he was a Junior Champion. In 2016 he discovered West Coast Swing and he is now excited to share his passion for this dance with others. He currently competes in the All-Star Division, placed 5th in Classic Division at the Us Open 2019 and travels around the world to learn and teach. You will love his energy, pedagogy and passion!

In 2014, Giulia discovered WCS and it evolved into an irresistible passion. Jet-setting across the globe to attend events, compete, take classes and get private coaching she quickly became an All-Star. Achieving the title of the first TAF German Champion marked a milestone. Shortly after began her career as a teacher, judge and Djay. To better assist her students she dedicated a semester to studying sport/dance psychology. This summer, Giulia bid farewell to her office job, now pursuing her artistic path as a dancer and designer.
