    Trainers:
    Ana & Samu & Lotte

    Ana Maeso
    Originally from Spain, Ana and Samu run their own dance school in Berlin (Rayuela Swing) and have been teaching and dancing together for over 4 years. Independently they have competed in lindy hop, shag, blues and authentic jazz around the world, and are active teachers outside of Germany.
    Part of the team is also Lotte, who teaches Collegiate Shag at Rayuela Swing and festivals together with Samu. Both dance both roles and love to switch. They also teach their classes from the first lesson to choreo troupe as everybodyleadseverybodyfollows and believe this experience to enable a better understanding in the dance partnership.
    Their main values are respect for the history of the music and the dance, connection and communication amongst dancers, and self-expression. In their classes, they strive for personal feedback, material that can be used way beyond the hours shared in the classroom, and creating an environment where fun, growth and vulnerability can co-exist.

      Registering with a partner requires both participiants to sign up for the same class and to fill out their own registration forms. Registering as a couple will only be complete once both partners have registered. We want to ensure a good Lead-Follow balance, so we treat registrations with a partner with a higher priority. We also reserve the right to install a waiting list if there are too many applications for one role in one level.
    PLEASE continue to be considerate of all fellow dancers and only come to our workshops and socials only healthy and tested.

    Lindy Hop Intermediate-Advanced/ Collegiate Shag Hard

    Lindy Hop/Collegiate Shag became a part of your life and the Socials are fixed dates in your calendar?

For this level you should be dancing Lindy Hop/Collegiate Shag for at least 2 years and participate in classes and workshops at regular intervals.

You are basically able to dance as both lead and follow. You feel experienced and confident in your dance and at the same time regularly take the time to work on your basics.
