Teachers:
Sam Chan started swing dancing in 2003 and has trained under many world-renowned Balboa instructors, as well as original dancers like Dean Raftery and Marge Takier. He has placed in international Balboa events (including 1st place at KBW 2018) and recently in the invitational level contests at Hot Rhythm Holiday, Balorado, and Great Lakes Balboa Escape. In his dancing, he values good connection, flow, and musicality. As a teacher, he excels at breaking down dance techniques in a clear and understandable way.
You can watch Sam here:

Izzy has been dancing since she was 3, having done jazz, tap and ballet before stumbling across Lindy hop at a jazz concert. Learning swing dancing in Australia, she moved to London with a passion for Balboa, Shag and Lindy and is determined for the various scenes to become more intertwined. Since moving to London in 2019, she has taught at numerous dance events across Europe and the UK (such as Bal Love and Save the Fast Dance) as well as placing in numerous competitions across Australia, the UK and Europe (including 1st and 2nd place at Roma Balboa Weekend and 2nd at Bal Love).
