TIMOTHY
CHRISTOPHER (USA)

Having Swing music as her main source of inspiration, Clàudia embraces diverse playful ways to push her dancing forward. Clàudia admires and studies the Jazz roots, focusing on its music and dancing, as a never-ending process in her development as a dancer.

Following the Jazz spirit, believing in its evolution, she is constantly seeking new approaches to apply in her dancing, knowing that the basics are the fundamentals to revisit to keep on growing.

She makes sure that whenever in class, there are always connections to its essence in different ways, from learning and creating individually and together to feeling like a being in a party!

At Winter Swingtime 2024, Clàudia will teach both Lindy Hop and Solo Jazz.
