Teachers

Sofí and Rami are dancers from Santiago de Chile specialized in Lindy hop and Authentic Solo Jazz Dance. They are both passionate about jazz culture in a broad sense, and study, teach, and live these African-American dances with great respect and appreciation for their roots and history.

For them the technique is very important, but the „funny and wild side“ is what they love most about these dances.

They feel that swing dancing is a liberating activity, an opportunity for individual and creative expression, personal growth, and community building.
