ABOUT US
“A beautiful pair of humans – brilliant teachers and great to work with. They bring a lot of history and cultural insights into the classes, which really enhances it. They’re also great DJs and lovely to social dance with. I’m working through their online courses now and they’re fantastic!”

OUR STORY
We truly believe that if everyone danced, the world would be a better place. We try to persuade other people of this by teaching, performing and dancing with as many people as possible at Blues and Swing dance events all around the world.
Blues dance is our passion. We love the connection you share with another person when you dance, we love the freedom of improvisation, we love throwing down to live music in the early hours of the morning. But most of all, we love passing this passion onto other people and helping them discover joy through it.
Blues is an African American music and dance. As teachers who are not from this culture we will never stop educating ourselves about the history, cultural values and the social context of the dance in order to honour the art form and the people who created it. We strive to pass on what we are learning to our students in classes by connecting the dance to its historical roots and cultural values.
