Teachers

MARCOS LEON is a jazz dancer, he works as a swing teacher in Zaragoza (Spain) and at national and international workshops. He has been dancing since 2012 and teaching for 7 years. As a jazz culture enthusiast, he focus his dancing in lindy hop, solo jazz and tap dance, trying to respect the roots and the values of vernacular jazz.

ROSER ROS is an international swing dance instructor based in Barcelona, Spain. She teaches lindy hop, aerials and solo jazz in some of the most important Lindy Hop events in Europe, and also teaches regular classes in her home scene, Barcelona.

Roser started doing gymnastics when she was 3 years old, and later entered the world of circus. She had been learning different types of dance all this time, until in 2011 she discovered Lindy hop, and has been unable to leave ever since.
She has a background in pedagogy, coaching essentials, and education. Before becoming a professional dancer, she was a primary school teacher specialised in physical education.
Roser is a great fast swing dancer. She dances with an energetic and precise style. She’s handy with dips and tricks, and aerials. As a choreographer she has worked for dance groups, music groups, artists, and videos.
Meet her on Instagram @roserswing and at her online dance school swingdancehome.com.

As a growing partnership, dancing together as well as in their classes, ROSER AND MARCOS emphasize rhythm, communication and self expression, always in a jazz culture context.
