Years ago I got infected with swing when I was visiting dance nights that were held every tuesday at a Kodeljevo castle near my home. I was visiting swing classes for several years and learned a lot from Sajles Šinkovec, a teacher from New York. I also visited several swing workshops in Slovenija and abroad. We were also performing on stage with unique balboa, lindy and swing coreographies. Later I organized some shows myself.

In the past years I have learned a lot about swing dances like Lidy hop, 20's Charleston, Balboa, Snowden, East coast swing, Collegiate shag and more. I started teaching as a substitute teacher and I found out I quite liked it. So now I also teach swing classes of my own in a dance school. I am happy that I have got the chance to transfer my knowledge to other dancers.
I like swing dancing and would like to see more and more people dancing it. That is why I teach swing classes. Some of them are for beginners, some for more advanced students. I live and work in Ljubljana, the capital city of Slovenia, EU. I also organize swing dance performances from time to time and swing dance nights.
If you want to know when the next dance lesson is going to be, please write and ask me. You can find the contact information bellow.

I teach different swing dance styles to my students, so that they decide which style they prefer the most. Apart from the lindy hop I also teach dances like east coast swing (which is great especially for beginners), balboa, collegiate shag, lindy charleston and and 20's charleston.
I believe that a swing dancer should be al teast familiar with these swing dances. Different music types calll for different dancing styles, so being able to dance different styles of swing dancing in very good in my opinion.
If you would like to know when the next class is going to be write me a message and I will inform you about the start of the new class. You can make your inquiry by:
