English version below
Die Trainer:
JOSEPH & CHARLOTTE :
Joseph & Charlotte are currently two of the UK’s busiest dance teachers of African American dances such as the Lindy Hop, 20’s Charleston, Cake Walk, Blues and Authentic Jazz, inspiring people with their fun, high energy classes.
Having learnt from, inspired by and worked with some of the 1930’s elders such as Frankie Manning, Norma Miller and many early teachers of the Lindy Hop, they specialise in retaining the authenticity with lots of original moves, but with a modern, technical, historical, informative and a fun singing twist. You leave their classes, feeling excited like you’ve just seen an action movie.
They also run a dance school JiveSwing.Com, which has choreographed and appeared on a number of National TV, Radio programmes and Music Videos, TV Adverts, Channel 4’s Royal Come Dine with Me, Dancing on Ice, ITV Britain’s Got Talent, and BBC TV Documentaries with BBC Strictly Judge, Len Goodman, Norma Miller, Joseph Sewell, et al, ‘Yolanda Be Cool’ (Americano) music video and the popular BBC’s Wartime in the hit BBC2 TV programme ‘Back in Time for Dinner’ . They also run the free online history group Swingopedia.
Maxi & Elena
He comes from Argentina, she comes form Athens. They met somewhere in between, a very
sunny day, and decided they had to teach and dance together!
With Maxi’s smooth Lindy Hop moves and Elena’s rhythmic jazz mastery, they bring the dance
floor to life faster than you can say “Shim Sham!”
Trained by legends and probably surviving on equal parts jazz records and coffee, this dynamic
duo has lit up festivals from Buenos Aires to Athens.
Maxi is currently running Malaga’s (ESP) lindy hop scene and Elena is the director of her studio
Jump n Jive in Athens, GR.
Maxi’s smooth, expressive style and deep connection to the music blend seamlessly with
Elena’s rhythmical precision and dynamic presence. Together, they bring authenticity, energy,
and a deep respect for swing’s cultural roots to every performance and class.
Whether on stage or in the studio, they inspire dancers to explore, connect, and move with joy.
Level:
Wir bieten 2 Level bzw. Gruppen im Workshop an. Dabei sind Levelbeschreibungen wie „Beginner“, „Intermediate“, „Advanced“, „o.ä.“ relativ ungenaue Namensgebungen. Bei der Selbst-Einordnung in eine Gruppe sollte es das Ziel sein, für sich selbst etwas aus dem Wochenende mitzunehmen, sich selbst zu fordern aber nicht zu überfordern.
Level A: Du hast solide Kenntnisse in Lead & Follow, Swingout, Footwork und ein Repertoire an verschiedenen Lindy Hop Moves und willst MEHR; mindestens 1,5 Jahre regelmäßiger Unterricht.
Level B: Zusätzlich zu den in Gruppe A beschriebenen soliden Kenntnissen: Du kannst spontan deine Moves abwandeln und auf die Partner-Signale eingehen (Lead ebenso wie Follow); mindestens 4 Jahre regelmäßiger Unterricht.
Die Rollen:
Neben der Auswahl der klassischen Rollen Lead und Follow bieten wir die 3. Buchungsoption Flexible an: Wenn Du Dich als Flexible anmeldest, kannst Du in dem Level, in dem Du Dich anmeldest, sowohl Follow als auch Lead gemäß den Levelbeschreibungen tanzen und bist bereit, die Rolle zu tanzen, die für ein ausgewogenes Verhältnis Lead-Follow benötigt wird.
