Céline Guitou Cavasa ja Edgar Cavasa
Céline has been dancing both as leader and follower since childhood, and has been teaching since the age of 19. Historian and anthropologist by university studies, globetrotter at heart, inveterate handy-woman… she has found in swing and in balboa particularly a universe, a mode of expression and communication that correspond to her: technical, twirling, rich, multiple. Her detours through the world of Argentine tango and the blues have completed the dance and teaching style of this jack-of-all-trades.
Edgar was born into a family of dancers and musicians, yet he went into high-level sport, particularly martial arts and American football. He only started dancing when he met Céline in 2015, but his technicality, his rigor, his tenacity, and his generosity, made him the ideal partner in a few months: he started teaching in September 2016. Tattoo artist in his spare time, fan of Harry Potter, shy and curious at the same time, he is an obstinate autodidact and with a thousand facets.
Céline and Edgar are known for their Balboa, Pure Bal, Balswing classes, always based on the old school they love, and revisited with technicality and contemporary fantasy. Above all, lovers of social dancing (invite them to the dance floor!), they like to challenge themselves in competition, and their half-tender, half- explosive duo has recently seduced the public and judges at internationally renowned competitions in Europe (2nd place Open Classic EBF 2018, 1st place Open Classic BOTP 2019) and in Asia (1st place Balboa Classic KBW 2019). Apart from dance, they have recently immersed themselves in a multi-cultural and well-being project related to the equine world; farriery for Edgar, driving horse carriages for Céline.. better warn, you may well have come across enthusiasts!
Eliisa ja Janek Õunamägi
Eliisa started dancing already in early childhood and only within couple of years, dancing became big part of her life. She has danced several styles but swing and step dance, which she was first introduced to in 1994, have remained closest to her heart. Back then she danced Lindy Hop and other swing dance styles as a part of a show dance and in competitions in Estonia and nearby countries. Growing up, she discovered the social side of Lindy, where the chemistry and teamwork between partners became very important to her. Today, Eliisa is constantly learning from the best Lindy Hop dancers of the world. Since 2012 she has devoted herself to teach and
spread the word of Lindy as a social dance.
Janek has danced since 2008. His heart was won over by many possibilities to improvise in Lindy Hop. Next to Lindy, he has also been active in folk dance. Since 2012, Janek is teaching Lindy Hop to all levels from beginners to advanced. Like Eliisa, he as well betters his dancing and teaching skills under the best Lindy Hop dancers there are.
Eliisa and Janek have danced together since 2008 and from 2012 they are the main dance teachers of the Tallinn Swing Dance Society. The amazing chemistry and teamwork these two have won’t be unnoticed by anyone on the dance floor. Their classes are fun and
captivating, where lot of stress is put on a follower and leader partnership techniques. Their main goal is to help people feel good with every partner on the dance floor.
