DANCE PARTNERS
Since her reinvention period Trisha has had the privilege of teaching with some renowned teachers including
Adam Brozowski, Scott Cupit, Benjamin Cook and Micheal Jagger.

Melanie and Albert are two very charismatic and energetic teachers who will make you recognize the essence of swing and all its little details.

For 6 years now, they have been the teachers who have come to teach the students of our association and we are super happy to have them.

They began as teachers of Ballroom Dance and Cuban Salsa.

From 2014 is when they begin to teach Lindy Hop and grow as teachers of this style. They also got to know the Blues, which they would fall in love with and it would lead them to teach at international festivals, such as the “In love with Blues” in Tours in 2019.

As of 2017, they began to participate in various Blues competitions and succeeded, finishing in first place on the Jack&jill at the “Cocoa Blues Exchange” in Barcelona.

Another of the moments that made them take a further leap, was during the “Paris Midnight Blues 2019”, finishing first in the Strictly (Melanie) and in the M&M (Albert) competition.

They are teachers who adapt to their students and who give many examples and different ways of doing things so they will adapt to all the participants, always with a great sense of humor and a lot of charisma.

Currently, they run their own dance school giving national and international lessons, collaborate in events and organize their “Low & Slow” blues festival.

Uxue and Gerard are a dance couple from Pamplona and Barcelona. Both are dedicated to teaching Lindy hop and Authentic Jazz at the Triple Step school in Terrassa (Barcelona).

Their journey as jazz dancers is relatively short, but the two have been involved with dance from a very young age. Gerard comes from tango and ballroom dancing, while Uxue’s background is rhythmic gymnastics, classical and contemporary dance.

That is why the two apply a pedagogy that is based on the understanding of movement and its expression through swing music.

After their first prize in the Savoy cup 2022 (in the open category of “Couple Routine”) they come with a lot of energy and a desire to share creativity with all the students.
