Moe Sakan (Japan) dances like few others can. She is passionate about music from the 1920s to modern times.

For Leticia Martin (Spain), Leti, jazz dance is inseparable from its cultural context. As a teacher and performer, she strives to be part of a lineage, that of the dancers who have carried (and are still carrying) this tradition. We are dwarfs sitting on the shoulders of giants.
In her constant search for groove and swing, Leti explores the ways in which the
body resonates with music, as well as the development of improvisation and self-expression.
Lindy hopper since 2011, her dance draws on the diversity of vernacular jazz styles
as well as the narratives and life stories that surround them. Sharing and exchange are at the heart of her approach.
Today, Leti teaches Lindy Hop and Jazz vernaculaire full-time in Montpellier, at the Montpeul’ Swing school. A passionate pedagogue, Leti encourages her students to surpass themselves and find their own voice, while remaining bearers of the tradition of this dance.
Leti also has an academic career, and currently dedicates her research to
exploring and understanding how jazz dances are perceived in France, and their place
within cultural policies.

César Cano (Spain) is originally from Majorca, but is currently based in Montpellier (France). His first contact with swing dance was in his early twenties. In 2016, he fell in love with Lindy Hop, when he discovered that it was a language in its own right through which one could communicate with others.
From then on, he developed a passion for swing culture and dance (notably Lindy Hop, Solo Jazz and Tap dancing). He continually travels nationally and internationally to improve his dancing and teaching skills.
His dancing is based on freedom, improvisation and rhythm. César’s dancing is relaxed and gentle, yet expansive and frenetic. Often complementing it with tap-inspired rhythms.
