The Teachers

Tadas & Pamela

It is with great honor and emotion that today we introduce to you our first teacher couple – Pamela and Tadas from Lithuania!

Funny, dynamic, full of heart and enthusiasm, Tadas and Pamela have been in the swing business for over 10 years! Competitions, performances, international courses – many times they have proven their talent and passion for swing. As dancers of Lindy Hop but also of Authentic Jazz, each of them has their recognizable style, their own way of moving. Not to mention their couple dance! It is so musical, interactive and technical at the same time…!

Today, they teach and share their passion for dance in their own way. Tadas leads a Lindy-Hop group that performs on theater stages, and he founded the Harlem Speak Easy Jazz Club.
As for Pamela, she is constantly learning all she can about dance – whether it’s music, psychology, or anatomy. As a dancer, Pamela values individuality and freedom. As a teacher, she encourages people to find their own dance:

“Learn to accept who you are and how your body moves. It’s your dance!”

Leo & Roser

Roser comes to us from Spain and more particularly from Barcelona. She spent her life studying movement and perfecting her knowledge. She started at the age of 3 with gymnastics, then discovered circus and natural dance and arrived in the world of swing in 2011. Passionate about acrobatics and fast rhythms, she teaches all over the world today, drawing her inspiration from her experience as a dancer but also as a teacher specializing in physical education, here is the program: dips, tricks and challenges!

Leonardo comes to us from Italy. He moved back to his home country after many years he spent in Barcelona. He strives to develop Lindy Hop in Italy. He began his career as a teenager and tried several dance styles such as hip hop before falling in love with swing in 2012. Since then he has been teaching and performing in the biggest festivals in Europe. A competitor at heart, after having won awards around the world, he shares his good humor and his vision of dance at festivals or in residence with artists, choreographers and creates shows for groups.

Nico & Alina

And the last detail, the pinch of salt in the mixture of butter and caramel – the third couple of teachers: Nicolas and Alina!

Classes with them – a fascinating blend of French charm and Slavic austerity – are ultimately a joyful encounter, where everyone laughs and feels free to express themselves! Smiles and passion always there, they like to share their knowledge in a relaxed and good mood!

We can nevertheless count on Alina and her love of rigor to keep the course and serious, and on the historical digressions of Nico (graduate in history) to travel and learn while having fun! They had the opportunity to teach together “at home” (in France and Belarus), but also abroad, where they both won prizes in competitions, separately and as a couple.

Many years of experience across Europe and the discovery of different visions, techniques and teaching methods strengthen their partnership, enrich it, and constantly inspire them with new projects!
