Dancers, instructors, choreographers and event organisers
A couple passionate about swing and blues dance and its culture. We love traveling, learning, meeting people and sharing all around the world.
We first met in 2015. Currently, we are based in Rennes, France where we are growing a local blues and swing community, giving classes both nationally and internationally, and organizing numerous events throughout the year.
We lead dance association Dance Addict, where we teach regular classes and organize 4 festivals a year (Blues Without Shoes, Swing'amann, Breizh Blues Invasion, Blues Corner)
We travel and teach to help spread our passion for dance to other communities all around France
Teaching, performing at festivals and workshops, social dancing with communities from all over the world, sharing our passion for this dance and its culture
Creating a joyful encounter where everyone laughs and feels free to express themselves with smiles and passion
Nicolas and Alina are united by a long story, tested by time and distance. Having met each other in 2015 in Minsk, they easily felt their duet harmonious and easy going. Classes with them – a fascinating blend of French charm and eastern austerity – are ultimately a joyful encounter, where everyone laughs and feels free to express themselves! Smiles and passion always there, they like to share their knowledge in a relaxed and good mood!
We can nevertheless count on Alina and her love of rigor to keep the course and serious, and on the historical digressions of Nico (graduate in history) to travel and learn while having fun! They had the opportunity to teach together "at home" (in France and Belarus), but also abroad, where they both won prizes in competitions, separately and as a couple.
Many years of experience across Europe and the discovery of different visions, techniques and teaching methods strengthen their partnership, enrich it, and constantly inspire them with new projects!
