Dance Instructors

Two of Korea’s best instructors, Nalla and Jessica are known for being very versatile dancers  ranging from authentic jazz to lindy hop. They  specialize in fast lindyhop, charleston and  musicality. They continually  train, travel and teach, study swing dance history and clips,  choreograph, perform, and innovate new dance movements  and techniques. They pride  themselves with basing their dancing on  original styles. Not only are they great teachers,  Nalla  and Jessica love  spreading their passion for social dancing. They have been competing  since 2007, and have taken home several  International and  National  Championship titles.  Also, they have taught  all over Korea.

 Nalla & Jessica teach as individuals, as couples. Contact us to find out rates, availability and  booking  information. ( E-mail: nallakim@hanmail.net )
