Teachers
Dara Anderbard
Dara has been teaching Lindy Hop and Blues since 2011 and lived out of a suitcase as a travelling man for 5 years; moving between scenes, teaching and DJing workshops around Europe. In 2017, he relocated to Valencia - finally back in the warm climate he enjoys - to join forces with Leigh and cook up some special sauce for some of the biggest blues events in Europe.
Dara teaches Blues Dance, Lindy Hop, Authentic Jazz, blues DJing and blues history both in his home scene in Valencia, Spain; and at international blues events.
Ioanna Panagopoulou
Ioanna Panagopoulou started dancing at the age of 4. She trained in ballet, modern jazz and hip-hop for more than 10 years and in 2011 she discovered Swing dancing. She took a break for a couple of years to study jazz improvisation at a conservatoire.
When she came back to Swing dancing, she discovered Blues and completely fell in love with it! Since then she’s one of the most active members of the blues scene in Europe. She hasn't stopped exploring the magic world of Blues through dancing, training and teaching in international festivals. Her goal is to always be inspired, passionate and creative!
