Teachers
Todd and Naomi (USA)
| Naomi Uyama and Todd Yannacone discovered their love for Lindy Hop years ago on opposite ends of the country, but after coming together as partners last year they immediatly swept the champion titles at the 2005 American Lindy Hop Championships, Ultimate Lindy Hop Showdown, US Open Swing Dance Championships, and the 2006 Rhythmic Arts Festival. When they're not competing you can find them on the social dance floor,where their emphasis on lead and follow is complemented by their attention to the music. |
Fabrice and Geraldine (FRA)
| Again we are happy to announce that the excellent teachers Fabrice and GÈraldine from Toulouse will be teaching at Winterjump. They are widely known as the star couple of many International Festivals. Their mix of incredible dynamism with lots of smooth variations is something that makes them so unique. |
