The Teachers
Yulia and Sasha are easily recognisable for their zippy yet smooth style. They are two times California Balboa Classic winners, and 6-time Pure Balboa Classic champions and teach at dance weekends across Europe.
In class, they encourage their students to appreciate the joyful energy of Balboa, its subtle humour and the precious opportunity to be in the moment with the music and one another. They have studied the history of the dance and partnership dynamics. Lately, as Sasha has found a new obsession with tap dancing, percussion, and rhythm overall, they are becoming even more focused on different aspects of musicality, and aim to reflect that in their teaching.
The Band
Jim Wynn Swingtet is not only exceptionally gifted but really understands about playing for dancers. They bring excitement and joy to every dance floor they play for. We are thrilled they will be playing for us.
