INSTRUCTOR BIOS:
----------------------------------------
We are Sofía & Ramiro, dancers from Santiago de Chile specialized in Lindy hop and Authentic Solo Jazz Dance.We 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 us the technique is very important, but the "funny and wild side" is what we love most about these dances.We feel that swing dancing is a liberating activity, an opportunity for individual and creative expression, personal growth, and community building.
