Berlin SpringFling – Tanzwochenende

With his big personality (and even bigger beard!) Greg has been a mainstay of the South West modern jive scene for over 14 years before moving to Hampshire. Greg’s dancing includes smooth, slotted style and focuses on connection, momentum and musicality. As a multiple competition winner as both a lead and an even once as a follow (which was hilarious spectacle for those in the know) there is always something for everyone at his classes. 

Greg’s classes are packed with technical content to help you create that perfect connection and give you the ability to express yourself with confidence, with plenty of laughs along the way!

Lynn has been dancing for over 25 years, in various styles from Ballroom, Tango, West Coast Swing and Modern Jive. Despite being a multi competition winner, Lynn’s playful and versatile style comes to the fore on the social dancefloor, where she adapts her style to match her leader.

Lynn’s open personality and gentle humour makes even the most technical class fun, and her smile is infectious. You will leave her classes brimming with confidence and optimism!

Rosa Lee is a professional dancer, born in the Ukraine. She moved to Berlin in 2012 to develop and grow the blues dancing scene. She is classically trained and discovered love for other styles of dancing (modern, tribal, belly dancing and flamenco) during her studies of dance and dance rehabilitation.

Rosa Lee danced in a variety of dance companies and became choreographer of a vintage dance/cabaret dance company. She is currently self-employed and is teaching for school projects, workshops and courses locally and internationally.
She also is a Blues and Swing music DJ and was the organizer of BBE (Berlin Blues Explosion 2014-2017).

Nele and Jasper first got to know Modern Jive in New Zealand and Australia where they both had lived for a while. When they came back they missed it so much that Nele decided to bring it here and become a teacher herself. She put in a lot of work to build a local MJ dance community from scratch but her belief in this beautiful and social dance keeps her going through highs and lows. Thanks to the support of other teachers and friends, e.g. Simon and Joanna Ridley, Jol Rose, Thierry and Emma Gauthier, Seamus Waldron or Keith Davies she was able to start teaching back in 2014 and grow her skills. This still is an ongoing process and the list now would be far too long. Thanks to all lovely supporters (e.g. Lee & Dawn *wink wink*)!

Nele and Jasper competed at the World Modern Jive Championships and Nele placed 1st with Vicky Mykytiuk in “Here come the Girls” at the International Open Modern Jive Championships 2018. She enjoys the smooth Kiwi/Australian style of Modern Jive but is also a big fan of musicality, fusing different dance styles together and anything crazy like lead swaps or steals/tag…

Nele is a very structured teacher and knows how to let everyone walk… or better… dance away with cool moves and a big smile – because she just loves entertaining you.
