Back in 2011 during a sunny social dance evening Justa’s attention was caught by swing music and lindyhop. She eagerly wanted to try it by herself and once she did that there was no way back. Since then Justa became maniac of lindyhop. Years spent in Herrang dance camp, local classes and weekend festivals led her to today - she is a lindyhop teacher and performer in her home town - Vilnius - at What a Jazz dance studio.

Alberto is a swing dancer and teacher from Genova. His musical career begins thanks to his guitar, that teaches him the beauty of playing with music and making it his own. He discovers Lindy Hop in 2015, and it is love at first dance: he throws himself into the world of Swing specializing in Lindy Hop and Jazz Roots but trying out everything, from Blues to Shag and Balboa. His eagerness to learn and challenge himself drives him to quit his job to entirely dedicate himself to his career as a dancer. Today, he attends every possible festival in order to improve his skills as performer and as teacher - and he has an impressive list of competition titles to his name. He sees every lindy hopper a source of inspiration, be it a teacher or student of his: every new connection is a discovery. Dancing is energy and freedom to him, and that is what he hopes to share with the rest of the world.
