Jenna & Tobi (USA/A)

Jenna found swing dancing in 2004 in her small local scene of Wenatchee WA. Since then she has spent countless hours expanding her dancing repertoire and sharing her love and knowledge of these dances with others. Her energy and passion create the perfect environment for learning Jenna has attended, coordinated, and taught various workshops and exchanges all across the globe. Some of her favorite highlights are performing at Benaroya Hall in The Jump Session Show and teaching for Lincoln Center's Midsummer Night Swing. Above all else she believes that learning to dance should be fun, and rooted in the music and history. With over 15 years of teaching/coaching/training experience, she loves finding new ways to connect with other dancers on the floor and in the classroom and to create challenging yet applicable lessons in the classroom. At the JAZZ CAPITAL jazzcamp she teaches lindy hop with Tobi and also solo jazz for intermediate and advanced swing dancers.

Tobi is a passionate dancer who discovered swing dancing in 2013 and immediately fell in love with it. Coming from a folklore background, he loves to play with rhythm and footwork variations and focuses on connection and counterbalance as much as creating space for the individual creativity for both the follower and leader when partner dancing. Teaching for his local scene in Vienna, traveling around the world for various festivals and competing regularly in contests are his happy places in the swing dance scene. At the JAZZ CAPITAL jazzcamp he teaches lindy hop with Jenna and Ellie for intermediate and advanced swing dancers.
