Solo Jazz with Egle | Thursday 21:30

Egle

Jazz it up with the amazing Egle Regelskis.
Egle Regelskis is a passionate international swing dancer, teacher, and performer from Vilnius, Lithuania, teaching and helping her students to emerge. Dancing was always in her blood. She first tried Ballroom and Folk dances, but it was when she found the family of Swing dances in 2004 that she knew she had found what she was looking for!

Egle believes that dancing is something that helps people conquer their fears and truly connects them to who they are. The way we are is the way we dance, magic happens when we step out of our comfort zone thereby accepting ourselves with all our weaknesses and strengths. She also believes that if one can walk one can dance, everything else depends on passion and willingness to work.

Olina

Summer Oliday
I don’t know if I like my artistic name, but I definitely like Burlesque. I have been dancing for several years Swing dances but my dance crush is still Burlesque. Apart from a local Burlesque teacher in Thessaloniki, I was honored to teach in Munich, Belgium, Athens, Serbia, Bulgaria, Turkey and in some festivals around Europe.I think Burlesque has so many facets and it evolves all the time, so you can never have enough of it.

Shuffle Dance | Saturday 16:00-17:00

Elli (Shuffle Queen)

Let's get into shuffling with some Electro Swing tunes in high tempo.
Ellie is an interior designer with a passion for dancing. Started dancing back in 2009 when she decided to observe and try many different styles (modern, musical jazz and some latin and tango argentino). In 2008 she met Elena and Jump n Jive and fell in love with Boogie Woogie, Blues and all the vintage dances. And then, in 2020 covid-19 came, solo dancing became the safest way of expressing feelings and blowing off steam. Shuffle dancing became a passion. The energy required, the sweat, the fast tempos is what made it stuck. What truly inspires her to keep shuffling is the diversity in rythms, music genres and styles. Are you having a pop mood? House? RnB? Electro swing? All she needs is the beat and the feet start moving on their own. Shuffle dancing is a great add to the freestyle of a dancer and she would love to see you incorporating it in your dance (even while your partner is solo jazzing during your Lindy hop).
