Giedre's journey into the world of swing dance began with Lindy Hop back in early 2000. After traveling around the world learning and teaching swing dance Giedre established her base in Europe's party capital, Berlin, where she became an active member of a vibrant Swing dance community.
An educator by nature and a historian by the degree, Giedre is currently researching women’s role in early Jazz music and dance history. In her classes one should expect a fair amount of musicality, fun technical tips and lots of good ideas on improvisation for both leaders and followers. After many exciting years in the swing dance community the main goal of her teaching remains to share her love for dancing, and to inspire and encourage those who have just begun to explore jazz dance and its African American roots.
