Audrey and Michael discovered the world of swing dances in 2018, when they signed up together for their very first rockabilly jive class.

Since then, they have expanded their dance journey by exploring boogie woogie and lindy hop, developing a style that is precise, explosive, and musical.

Passionate dancers and active competitors, they stand out in both Strictly and Mix & Match divisions, earning multiple medals and stage experiences. In February 2025, they had the honor of being invited to teach internationally at Swing Saturday Night in Mexico.
Deeply involved in their community, they are co-founders of the nonprofit organization Accès.Swing and play an active role in organizing Rock Your Rhythm, a festive and inclusive event that brings together swing scenes around rhythm & blues—perfectly reflecting their versatile partnership. You can also find Michael behind the decks as DJ Proc, energizing jive and boogie evenings.

Die Boogie Banausen
Germany
TEENAGE R`N`R FROM GERMANY
Die Boogie Banausen – that’s not only Lorenz Knauft and Dennis Taubner, but also the great love for music from back in the days, the certain feeling for Rhythm and Swing, coupled with the joy of playing and their own way of representing their own songs together with drummer Michael “Eddy Star” Seyfarth. With sax, piano and drums, the 3 Banausen bring their audience back to the basics of Rock’n roll and Boogie, without technical tricks, but pure.
The two teenagers Dennis (at the age of 15) and Lorenz (at the age of 13) were on the road in summer 2016 as a solo act and in different formation at the Firebirds Festival. Due to the quite large distance, the two rehearsed via Whatsapp & Skype. What kind of swinging, rocking and exuberant show came out, you could already see at festivals and gigs not only in Germany, but also in France, Netherlands, Norway, Belgium, Italy, Great Britain or for example at the legendary VIVA Las Vegas in the USA.
With their appearances at legendary events such as the Summer Jamboree Senigallia (Italy), Rock That Swing (Munich), the Firebirds Rock’n Roll Cruise or the VIVA Las Vegas #22 the Banausen proved that they are no longer just up-and-coming artists. Once again the Banausen underline this with their two studio albums “Don’t Talk Around!” and “The Radio Is Rollin”, which are packed with their own material. After the Corona break, Boogie Banausen released the album “The Radio Is Rollin”, which was produced in their own studio.
The journey continues.
The Boogie Banausen – this is real Teenage Rock’n Roll!
