Maxi & Claudia (ARG)

They come from Buenos Aires and they are outstanding in enthusiastic spreading of  swing dancing in Latin America and Europe. They have been inspired by great masters of dance and the Lindy Hop. Claudia began her dance apprenticeship with her brothers Ernesto and Ricardo Biggeri, with whom she later created the School “Cultura Swing”. Her knowledge of dance and movement is based on studies of different disciplines (rhythmic gymnastics, jazz dance, contemporary, ballet, tap, hip hop, floor and aerial acrobatics). Her style is recognized for her connection, musicality and explosive creativity. Maxi is son of the ballet dancer Delia Monzon and he has trained as a dancer in the United States and Sweden, learning from the old timers who created the Lindy Hop, such as Frankie Manning, Norma Miller and Dawn Hampton. He is an artist of improvisation, letting himself to be taken by Swing. Claudia and Max are passionate about all swing dances and are capable of creating a rich and dynamic style. Through 18 years of experience in teaching in Latin America and Europe they have developed a versatile teaching style that makes their classes full of energy and inspiration.

Joseph & Charlotte are currently two of the UK’s busiest swing dance teachers of authentic dances such as the 1940s Lindy Hop, 1920’s Charleston, Black Bottom, Blues and Authentic solo Jazz touring Europe and inspiring people with their fun, high energy classes, wherever they go.

Having learnt from the 1930’s old timers, such as Frankie Manning, Norma Miller, his late uncle, who was a blues dancer and the early teachers who revived the Lindy Hop, they specialise in retaining the authenticity of a by gone era, but with original moves, a modern technical, informative and entertaining twist. You leave their classes feeling excited, like you’ve just seen an action movie.

They’ve taught and perform all over the UK, including numerous theatres, the world famous Royal Albert Hall, FIFA World Cup Launch at the Grand Palais, Paris and European countries such as Germany, France, Sweden, Spain, Greece, Norway, Turkey, Switzerland, Denmark, Belgium, Czech Republic, Hungary, Amsterdam, Israel, Slovenia, Italy, Croatia, Ireland, Austria, etc.

They run a dance school JiveSwing.Com , which has choreographed and appeared on a number of National TV, Radio and Music Video projects, such as TV Adverts, Channel 4’s Royal Come Dine with Me,  Dancing on Ice, Britain’s Got Talent, and TV Documentaries, including one presented by BBC’s  Strictly Judge, Len Goodman, ‘Yolanda Be Cool’ (The guys that did Americano) music video, the popular BBC’s Wartime Farm and BBC2’s Further Back in Time for Dinner.

Most importantly, Joseph’s mum thinks they’re amazing. 🙂
