Yana discovered Lindy hop in 2010 and has since danced all around Europe and taught in Bulgaria and Scotland before moving to Belgium. She loves looking for fun, musicality, and connection, the intuitivity of following, the responsibility of leading, and the freedom of solo jazz. She's also passionate about contributing to the community being more inclusive and honouring the roots of the dance. She enjoys being a beginner at other dances and thinking about teaching techniques and embodiment.
