Nejc, one of the “culprits” of the new swing age era in Slovenia in the early 2000s, is a founding members and leader of the first slovenian swing dance group “Besne gliste” (“Furious worms”), the group that later evolved into the infamous Retronom. He uses experience from modern movement theatre, music and classical theatre to bring a fresh and fun approach to teaching and developing swing dance. He pays special attention to jazz moves and musicality, both essential to swing dancing. He teaches Lindy hop, Balboa, Charleston, Blues both at home at the Dansa dance school and has extensive experience with teaching abroad in international workshops. He has also competed in many international competitions, winning quite a few (Lindy Shock, Rock That Swing, LSSF).

Abeth started dancing Lindy Hop over 12 years ago in San Francisco. Abeth believes strongly that partner dancing is simply dancing, but with a partner, so solo work is essential! Abeth is a teacher with contagious energy, keen that her students learn important concepts to develop their own dancing and push themselves beyond their comfort zone, but always with a laugh!

Born in Lisbon (Portugal) Carla began to dance and jump as a child. She has formation in Circus, Theatre, Ballet, Tap, Singing and some other art related and non-related crafts. She discovered Lindy Hop In 2009 with Abeth Farag and started teaching in 2011. In 2014 discovered Blues dance in the Atlantic Blues first edition and fell in love with this dance that allows her to join the musical and theatrical expression to various rhythms and to fully express herself. In 2014/15 with Hugo Domingos started the first blues class in Lisbon. She teaches Lindy, Vintage Jazz, Aerials, Solo Blues and Blues at Swing Station in Lisbon and was invited by Abeth in 2015 to join the production team of the Atlantic Blues Festival.

Daire likes his music like he likes his whiskey; aged and mellow. Born under a bad sign in Holland he lives, teaches and DJs blues all over Europe. A mover and shaker in more ways than one, he is one of the founders of blues in Delft, Holland and co-organises Crash! The Delft Blues Festival every February. Always researching and expanding his knowledge of blues music and dance, he wants to share the joy of connection; with yourself, your partner, the music, and the environment.
