Mallorca Special

Date: 21.-23.06.24

Lindy Hop & Balboa mit Maria & Luis from Mallorca 

_________

We are pleased to present you Maria & Luis from Mallorca!!

They are well known in the global Swing Dance Scene and we are thrilled to invite them to Innsbruck.

Maria Acunas began dancing swing in 2014, and her love of the learning process has kept her going, adding more and more abilities and ideas to her distinctive style. She is a fan of high-energy swing music, so Balboa was an obvious option for her next step.
She started Jazz Bouncing, a dance studio in Mallorca, in 2015, where she is the principal instructor of Lindy Hop and Balboa, quickly becoming one of the island’s reference followers.
She has been dancing and competing in national and international events since the beginning of her dance career, winning various competitions, the most recent in Balboa being a second prize in Valencia Balboa or first place in the European Balboa Championships.

Her dance is defined by her FUN and carefree style, with a strong emphasis on creativity, musicality, and partner communication.

Luis Arredondo is noted for his energetic dance style, risk-taking, never-ending smile, and detailed approach to the learning process. He relocated to Toronto in 2011, where he lived for ten years, travelling, teaching, and competing across North America. He is now back in Spain, working to build the Balboa scene in Mallorca.
Luis likes to keep his lessons moving by including lots of positive energy, a creative approach to partnership conversation, and a healthy dose of technique. He likes to make sure that each class gets everything it needs to succeed, and no two classes are the same!
In North America and Europe, he has won and placed in numerous national and international contests.

Together they will offer us a weekend full of Swing and joy!
