Coleen & Claudia (Lindy Hop)

Coleen Avril

Coleen is a professional dancer and passionate teacher. She works with several companies based on two art forms: dance and theater. She contributed to the local swing community by creating the “Happy Jam” school in Rouen, France.

She believes in the power of the collective and the importance of social ties to transmit and honor human cultures and values. She dances jazz solo and in duets.

What’s important to Coleen? Let everyone express themselves freely. Understand, connect and communicate with music, rhythms and culture. To explore and grow as a dancer and as a human being.

Claudia Jonte

Drawing her inspiration from swing, Claudia explores a variety of playful ways to achieve personal fulfillment while connecting with the world of jazz.

She admires and studies the roots of jazz dance and music, an ongoing process that enriches her communication and personal expression through this art form. She constantly reassesses her role in the world of jazz, redefining what this music brings her so that she can contribute to it in her own way.
