The Teachers

Shirel (Montpellier) has been teaching and practicing a variety of dance since 2006. She was first attracted to the femininity and sensuality of Egyptian Belly Dance and Tribal Fusion, then yoga, ballet, street jazz, ragga danc hall, hip hop, world dances, and more … With all this background, she creates a unique style full of femininity, grace, and elegance in her Swing and Blues.

One of the early pioneers of the resurging interest in Blues dance in the the 1990’s, today Jered is an international figure traveling to build up local scenes across North America, Europe, and wider.

Based on an extensive study of the history, culture, and advanced movements of Blues, Jered enjoys focusing on how both Leaders and Followers can make every single dance amazing!

You’ll find that a class with these teachers is filled with powerful technique, clear pedagogy, and will make you smiiiiile!
