Bianca Locatelli is not just one of the most iconic dancers in the international swing scene—she is a symbol of elegance, expression, and magnetic charisma. Originally from Italy, she began dancing at a very young age, moving gracefully from classical ballet to Latin dances, before falling in love with Boogie Woogie and the vibrant universe of Swing during her time in Sweden.

Her journey is a dance woven with passion, precision, and deep musicality. Every step she takes tells a story; every movement is a call to immerse yourself in rhythm. Alongside her dance partner Nils Andrén, she forms one of the most admired and respected duos in the world of swing, lighting up stages at the most prestigious festivals and earning international titles.

During our swing weekend in Salento, Bianca captivated everyone: from her Solo Jazz workshops—pure poetry in motion—to the social dance parties where she embodied joy, grace, and vintage charm. Her presence turned each moment into an unforgettable memory filled with smiles, connection, and the timeless spirit of the 1930s and 1940s.

Bianca Locatelli is more than a dancer. She is the living essence of swing—an inspiration, a storyteller, and a dazzling force on and off the dance floor.
