Lea
West Coast Swing · Advanced
Lea started her ADTV dance teacher training in 2017 and discovered – and fell in love with – West Coast Swing along the way. Since 2019 she has been teaching WCS alongside ballroom and Latin, and she danced her first competitions in 2022. Besides various European events, she gained a lot of experience at the Conny & Dado dance school in Graz. Today she is back teaching in Nuremberg, where you will find her at Super-Secret-Moves e. V., among others. She has now dedicated herself entirely to West Coast Swing and enchants audiences in the Advanced division. For her, WCS is the perfect mix of communication, structure and freedom.
Paolo Iannello
West Coast Swing · coach & judge
Born and raised in Bavaria, Paolo has been teaching in Regensburg since 2018 and helped shape the West Coast Swing scene there. His core strength is private coaching for individuals and couples, with a focus on movement and the dancer's mindset. Paolo is a dancer, teacher, coach and judge and sums up his style as “be grounded – be yourself”. He speaks German, English and a little Spanish.
Swen Hahn
Salsa & bachata
Swen Hahn is a passionate ADTV dance teacher with a special love for salsa and bachata. With lots of energy, fun and a great feel for music, he teaches not only the right steps but above all the feeling that makes these dances so special. His workshops combine technique, rhythm and expression – and invite you to take over the dance floor with plenty of joie de vivre.
Ines & Patrick Merath
Line dance · WCDF world & European champions
With a great passion for line dance, Ines and Patrick Merath have stood for high-quality, modern dance teaching for many years. As successful line dancers and ADTV dance teachers, they combine solid technique with a love of dancing and of the music. Their results speak for themselves: they are the reigning WCDF European and World Champions and have twice won the German championship title in the BFCW. In their workshops they share their experience with lots of fun and personal attention – for everyone who wants to improve their technique, get fresh ideas and experience line dance on a new level.
