Teachers & Staff
Four couples · One shared sky
João & Savana
Some partnerships simply shine.
João & Savana are an international West Coast Swing couple known for their musicality, creativity, and strong connection on the dance floor. Partners for over five years, Brazilian-born João and Savana have combined their diverse dance backgrounds into a teaching approach that is clear, practical, and uniquely their own.
Their classes focus on connection, musicality, and expression. They help dancers build confidence while developing both technique and personal style. Known for their positive energy and approachable nature, they create a space where every dancer feels comfortable, motivated, and inspired to grow, whatever their level.
João & Savana travel the world to teach and perform, bringing a warmth that turns every class into a shared experience and every dance into a conversation.
We can't wait to see them light up the floor at The Cosmic Connection.
Lee & Fabienne Easton
Some dancers follow the stars. Lee and Fabienne have spent over 25 years helping others find their own.
Lee and Fab are Champion West Coast Swing professionals from London. They began in the UCWDC Country and Line Dance world, where they won multiple world titles before West Coast Swing captured their hearts with its music, freedom, and personality. Since then, they have become two-time US Open Classic finalists and won titles across the US, Europe, and the UK.
Inspired by the great American WCS events, they founded EastonSwing to bring that magic home. Today it is one of the UK's leading West Coast Swing organisations, with classes across the country and events such as Detonation, Midland Swing Open, Trinity Swing, and Flowstate.
As teachers, Lee and Fab are known for making the hard stuff easier. They turn solid technique into clear, accessible steps, guiding dancers from movement to connection and, finally, to expression.
We can't wait to welcome them into our orbit.
Chuck Brown & Stefanie Tschom
Two different journeys, one shared sky.
Chuck Brown has dedicated over 25 years to West Coast Swing as a Chief Judge, champion dancer, teacher, and event director, and he is the founder of The After Party (TAP). He has taught in more than 35 countries and is recognised as a pioneer of the international WCS community, known for his Emotion in Motion retreats and his EyePower Judges Training.
Stefanie Tschom is a professional dancer, coach, and competition judge based in Berlin, with roots in ballet, jazz, hip hop, and ballroom. She is also a trained fitness and health coach, and she brings a keen eye for body mechanics and alignment to her teaching.
Together, they bridge foundational technique, musicality, and personal expression. Their classes are structured yet playful, highly visual, and full of relatable insight. They give dancers the tools to move with awareness and the freedom to discover their own dance identity.
We are honoured to have them shine with us.
Florian & Lotte
Where structure meets soul, something beautiful begins.
Florian discovered West Coast Swing in 2018 in Graz, Austria, after dancing several other partner dances, and was drawn in by its creativity and communication. He now competes in the WSDC All-Star division, runs weekly classes in Berlin, and teaches internationally. He trained in violin and piano at the conservatory in Eisenstadt, is completing a 630+ hour yoga teacher training, and regularly takes ballet classes.
Lotte started with gymnastics as a child and found dance at 14 through hip-hop and partner dancing. She soon began teaching solo classes. In West Coast Swing she found endless room for creativity and connection, and a way to turn music into something deeply personal.
Together, they bring an analytical, structured approach rooted in psychology and pedagogy. They link different WCS methodologies into one coherent learning experience, with a focus on creativity, communication, and technique. Above all, they create a space where dancers can grow in a healthy way and move with real awareness of their bodies.
We are so excited to dance under the same sky.
