Teachers

Having met each other in 2015 in Minsk, easily felt their duet harmonious and easy going. As each of them had their own dancing experience, their dancing style became rich of different techniques. Tango, hip-hop, classic, contemporary dance and later lindy hop and blues – all these different families of dance now help them in understanding mechanics and aesthetics of the body and way of moving according to traditions of different dances. Relying on feelings and self-expression, virtuously combining their experience in dance, with every dance they build their unique universe of blues.

Nicolas and Alina are based in Rennes (France), they are organizing numerous events and teaching in school called “Dance Addict”, that was created by Nicolas in 2014. They have already taught together in their native France, Belarus, and beyond, took prizes in competitions separately and in a couple. And the common passion for travel and sharing each time inspires them for new projects.

Lidia and Fernando are a passionate teaching duo in Freiburg’s dance scene, specialized in Blues, Lindy Hop and Balboa.

Fernando brings over a decade of expertise, with an impressive repertoire of moves that span from slow, soulful grooves to high-energy fast steps, constantly refining his technique and exploring new ideas on the dance floor. Despite his serious concentration, dancing with him is an absolute delight and full of surprises!

Lidia, a lifelong dancer, started with flamenco, Spanish folklore and many others, and fell in love with Lindy Hop and Blues in 2018. Since then, she has immersed herself in these styles, sharpening her skills through classes, socials, festivals and specialized teacher trainings like Bluesology.

Together, Fernando and Lidia are not only skilled instructors but also dedicated community builders, actively promoting and nurturing the Blues scene in Freiburg. Through their enthusiasm and hard work, they inspire more dancers to explore and fall in love with Blues, ensuring the scene continues to grow. Their classes are filled with fun, inspiration, and plenty of learning, encouraging students to explore their unique style while mastering technique.
