Mood for Swing Mood for Swing Sylvain and Marion started dancing back in 2014 in their local scene in Tours: a good friend of theirs was in town for just a few days so they decided to gather together and walk around, they stumbled upon an outdoor Lindy Hop event and decided to join local classes together … at least they would know somebody in class! Rapidly they started to dance outside the classes and were very regular at the socials (to the point they had to be kicked out or they would have stayed all night!). While they were both students (graphic design and English studies) they started getting more and more involved in their local scene : they even created their first routine after only 2 years of classes! They then helped their local teachers teach some classes and were given the opportunity to teach together at the very school they started dancing with. That’s also when they started attending a couple international workshops and festivals to take as many classes and dance as many nights as possible! This has helped them to shape their dancing and approach to the dance. The way they share Jazz dances has greatly evolved through the years, they firmly believe in everybody’s potential and they strive on helping out bring it to the light.

Mood for Swing The content of the workshop is for intermediate and above students.
