Stefan is Managing Director of the Flying Steps and plays a leading role in running the Flying Steps Academy. Since its opening in 2007, the Academy has grown under his co-leadership to become Germany’s largest urban dance school – with multiple locations, over 75 instructors, 20 dance styles, and thousands of students training every week. Lechermann has been instrumental in building school partnerships – for example through sports enrichment programs that introduce hundreds of pupils per week to dance and movement. During the pandemic, he proved himself as a crisis manager, coordinating emergency aid, short-time work schemes, and operational adjustments to keep the community together. He is also known as a key contact for booking and collaboration inquiries for Flying Steps shows and bespoke productions.
