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.
