2024 – Artists -Juan & Simona

Juan & Simona

Simona is one of the first swinging souls that brought lindy hop to Lithuania back in 2004, and hasn’t stopped since. She fell in love with the diversity of movement and dived into everything that the swing world has to offer: from lindy hop, balboa, solo jazz to st louis shag.

But more than anything, Simona’s a wild soul. Authentic, sensual, joyful, creative, and awake in her dancing. You’ll see this girl playing and mixing bits of different cultures and dances, be it hip hop or salsa. There’s always someone wondering “what’s that move she just did?”, cause it ain’t no charleston you’ve seen before, it’s something else.

You’ll enjoy seeing her on the dancefloor She believe the dance is a shortcut to happiness and the freedom to be yourself. Therefore, in classes she teaches how to find your own style and give nuances to your movements.
