We have been swing partners and have taught together for 6 years. After a year of training, we began to teach in Canada, United States and also in Europe. In 2002, we were invited to teach in Finland, and also in Montreal, Quebec, Toronto, Kingston, Victoria (BC), and Syracuse (USA, NY). We also had 2 great years as members of the Montreal Dance Troupe, the Swinging Air Force. Between our professional jobs, it’s hard to be a full time swing dancer, but we try to give our best in sharing and teaching one of our passion. We don’t teach anymore group class but we are available to private classes.

Here what people say about our dancing:
If you have somehow missed seeing this duo in action on the dance floor, you've been missing out. A duo with a distinctive and dynamic style, this couple from San Francisco is renowned for their solid technique as well as the pizzazz they put into social dancing. They have taught along side Steven Mitchell and Virginie Jensen in Finland as well as treating Lindy Hoppers to their teaching in Toronto, Syracuse, Kingston, Victoria and Russia! Olivier and Samantha are known to cover such topics as the use of the hips and how to make use of the right muscles in movement, in order to bring your dancing to new levels of smoothness.

About Sam:
Samantha's dancing combines stylistic flair and glowing enthusiasm with the ever-ready calm of a Zen master. Her dancing melts sweetly into your eyes like warm fudge into your mouth. As a teacher her compassion and commitment as well as her rock-solid understanding of technique enable her to communicate complex concepts clearly and concisely.

About Oli:
Olivier is one of the few dancers who navigates the contradiction between smoothness and dynamism, and between technique and self-expression, to create a personal style and innovative daring that is all his own. Directly influenced by many of today's top swing dancers, Olivier's strong technical grounding combined with his playful and energetic approaches have made him a popular teacher as far as Finland!
