Back by popular demand, we are ECSTATIC to announce the Autumn Edition of our Welsh Weekender 2023 - a weekend of inspiring teaching and dancing with the incredible Elze Visnevskyte and Peter Kertz.
Peter & Elze are Lindy Hop dancers, performers, choreographers and educators. She comes from Lithuania, while he hails from Los Angeles and together, their dancing is all about fun and connectedness. Their musicality, playfulness, and creativity are not just parts of their personalities as dancers, but also as instructors. To date, they have taught and performed across Europe, Asia, America, and Australia and we cannot wait to spend the weekend learning from these two as we bring them to Wales this summer!
Perfect for dancers who want to kick their Lindy up a notch, this is a great opportunity to learn from this experienced dancing duo who love to share their passion for African American jazz dances.
PLUS we’ll keep the party going with our Saturday Night Dance featuring live music from The Sarah Meek Quintet, and our Sunday Tea Dance with local DJs. All in the beautiful, Dinas Powys Parish Hall with its half sprung floor, just 20 minutes from the centre of the Welsh Capital.
