The Teachers

Jol Rose (UK)
Jol has been dancing modern jive for over 10 years...and teaching since setting up M-Jive in Germany. As well as making sure that the weekend flows smoothly, Jol will be adding his own unique teaching touch to the workshops.

Tommy Bachmann (D)
Our home-grown hero of boogie, west coast swing and jive, Tommy has been inspired by everything from ballet to contemporary dance - taking in jazz, hip-hop and good ol' boogie woogie. Having taught WCS and boogie in France, Russia, Scandanavia and the USA, he's now back on home turf! Wunderbar :-)

Stephen "Stevo" McCormack (UK)
Stevo - with his partner Sophie - will be the dazzling young talent of the weekend. Young, maybe - but with an impressive list of achievements already: winner of Britrock "Hotspot" (2008), Ceroc "Aerials" (2005 & 2006) and achance2dance "Aerials" (2005) to boot. An advanced dancer with immense style, Stevo is sure to wow one and all. Plus - for a limited number of couples - he's offering an Aerials Masterclass on Sunday afternoon.

Mirjam Eisenzimmer (D)
Mirjam mixes jive and swing to a magical fusion. Her personality and fine teaching style is not to be missed. If you want to spice up your jive with some swing steps, kicks and tricky rhythms ...look no further. Ably assisted by another local swing-jiver, Herr Alex Klein, whose blues knocks 'em dead every time.

...and more!

Aaron "Fluff" Saunders (UK)
For the first time at a Jivin' Munich event, Fluff is a regular teacher at London's favourite ...Jive Nation. He's hot on smooth-moving modern jive and the original American honky-tonk blues. Check him here.

Thierry Gauthier (FR)
Some say that without the French we would never have invented Modern Jive. Thierry runs his Simpy Leroc business in the south of England ...but his French roots are integral to his style and panache. He specialise in fusion - bringing tango, salsa and other latin influences into modern jive. He wowed us at our Winter Warmer in 2009 and we're delighted he's coming back in May!

Christelle Fournès (FR)
The other half of Simply Leroc, Christelle is a qualified Leroc trainer and a vibrant dancer. Her background in ballroom jive, latin and salsa gives her a style and technique that every modern jiver looks for. Another gem joining the Jivin' Munich team.

John & Hazel Lusby (UK)
Champion modern jivers - they've been senior finalists in the UK modern jive champs five times - and won twice. Anyone who saw them dance at the Spring Fling this year will be convinced of their skill, calm stlye and smooth moves. By popular request, they're coming back to teach!

Ian Manson (NZ)
Ian is a Jivin' Munich regular ...and that's by popular demand. His focus on connection and movement - as well as his endless patience - is in constant demand in his entertaining workshops and masterclasses.
