A quiet floor, our first dance, and a connection I really enjoyed✨
Huge thanks to @bosphorusswing for an amazing festival, to everyone who cheered and brought energy from the background, to @jazznfashion for my shoes! 🤍

Another snippet from the Invitational Draw at @lindyfest ! This is from the final all-skate so it's actually something that's not easily visible from the official video! Having a silly fun time with @datpheel 😍🥳

WOW I got to dance with @datpheel in the Invitational Draw!! I love that @lindyfest lets the winners from the All-Star Draw be in the invitational! That and the Crossover Draw are two major things I love about this event! ❤️
And it's crazy that my first time ever making it to the all star finals I also got to do the invitational 😳 what a wild weekend! All the dances in the invitational this year were wicked and it's so rad to have been next to them! 🥳

🎧 Meet the DJs:
Nii Attoh-Okine ‘DJ Nii’
At the suggestion of a friend, Nii discovered Lindy Hop at the University of Delaware in 2016. Known for always having his headphones on, he quickly fell in love with the sounds of big band swing. Now based in Baltimore, he DJs locally at Mobtown Ballroom and has also staff DJed at events both nationally and internationally. As a DJ, Nii’s goal is to create a night filled with a variety of moods and themes that dancers will regret stepping away from. While his favorite bandleader is currently Duke Ellington, he has recently been exploring the works of Earl Hines, Ziggy Elman, and Harry James.
✨ We’re excited to welcome 𝐍𝐢𝐢 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐡-𝐎𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐞 to Bosphorus Swing Festival 2026 Istanbul ! ✨

Drawing my friend @datpheel at @uptownswingmpls was really special. I particularly loved this all skate warm up, where I think my choices were more in line with how I want to dance. I still get pretty nervous and anxious in comp finals and staying calm and relaxed is still a work in progress. Grateful for friends who cheer me on, talk me through, give me insight throughout the process.
