The Teachers

Irina Amzashvili has received numerous accolades from events and has taught swing dance all across the U.S., Asia, Europe, and Australia. She was inducted into the Camp Hollywood Hall of Fame in 2019 and the California Swing Dance Hall of Fame in 2022. Irina’s teaching style is patient and encouraging. Her goal is to guide her students through building solid foundations while inspiring individuality in personal movement, and building confidence.

Theresa Manney has been a dance enthusiast for as long as she can remember with extensive experience in ballet, modern and aerial arts, but nothing captures her heart like jazz music and swing dancing. As an instructor, Theresa is known for having a keen eye for body mechanics with a strong focus on encouraging students to listen to the music as a way to influence movement.
