Artists
Claudia: Since she began her apprenticeship in the classrooms with her brothers Ernesto and Ricardo Biggeri, with whom they will later create the School "Cultura Swing". Her knowledge of dance is based on having studied with great masters of different styles and disciplines (rhythmic gymnastics, jazz dance, contemporary, classical, tap, hip hop, floor and aerial acrobatics). A style recognized by connection, musicality and explosive creativity.
Maxi: son of the classic dancer Delia Monzon has trained as a dancer in the United States and Sweden. He took lessons with star dancers such as Frankie Manning, Norma Miller and Down Hampton. An artist of improvisation and spontaneity, he lets himself be traversed by the Swing and this is how his body translates it. Passionate about the dances related to the golden age of SWING (Lindy, Balboa, Shag, Blues, Rock & Roll) and influenced by the dances that preceded it, they find together a rich and varied style of movements that agree with the traditional and the current of the swing in constant evolution.
With more than 18 years as teachers around Latin America and Europe we have achieved a versatile and dynamic way of teaching that fills each class with energy and inspiration.
She is living in different cities across Europe, including Kyiv, Stockholm, Barcelona, Vilnius and Bergen following her passion to dance. Now 22 years old, Sofia is fully committed to daily training, teaching and traveling. Her dedication to dance has earned her a reputation as an eager and beautiful dancer.
Ruben started swing dancing in 2010. Today Lindy Hop, Boogie Woogie and Solo jazz play a big role in his life. Teaching and practicing in Bergen in addition to traveling to various international festivals for competitions and taking classes take up much of his time. Ruben has also been teaching at various international festivals&schools with different partners.
Ruben has a passion for teaching, performing, competing and especially social dancing - where the goal during the social night is to avoid leaving the floor for as long as humanly possible. To Ruben the multifaceted activity of swing dancing involves so many treasured elements - from the music itself to the possibilities of expressing yourself to it. And to be able to share these elements with another human being on the social floor makes it all so very special.
Workshops
Get ready for Lindy Hop workshops on 4 levels (Swing Kids - Beginners, Alhambra, Roseland, Savoy).
Classes will take place on Saturday and Sunday (August 24 and 25).
Please, choose your level wisely, because there will be no audition.
Swing Kids (beginners)
Workshops from scratch for everyone who wants to take their first steps on the dance floor.
Alhambra (int)
You’ve taken your first Lindy steps. Slowly but surely you get to know the music a little better, you know the basic moves such as the tuck turn, promenade or lindy circle, and are not afraid of the new and unknown. There’s also a high chance that you’ve attended some festivals before the pandemic, but in these swing middle ages you’ve managed to forget some things.
Roseland (int/adv)
You’ve danced your share and feel quite nice with Lindy Hop. The swingout technique is starting to keep you awake at night, the variations of what you already know are sometimes more interesting, than new moves. You’ve been to numerous parties, festivals and workshops—still not enough for you. You want to grow and get better.
Savoy (adv)
You got your boots on. You’re the veterans of your scene, could be you maybe teach there or used to teach. Someone can tell you that your swingouts are great, but you’ll point out ten things you could improve on. You’ve got a few tricks that folks will react to only after a few seconds have passed and they’ve realized what just happened. The musical standards you could dance to almost by heart, since you’ve heard them hundreds of times at dozens of Lindy events.
