Nina Rüetschi took her first Jazz Dance class at the tender age of 7. Longing for more, she later joined a teenage Street Dance performance group, until she stumbled upon Swing dancing in 2013. Ever since, her life would be unimaginable without dance!
Over the years, she acquired a broad knowledge on the many facets of swing dancing which she loves to share with her students. Aside from teaching, Nina can be seen competing throughout the continent, regularly making finals.
Anthony Carusiello hails from the US and has been teaching Lindy Hop, Balboa, Shag, Charleston, Vernacular Jazz and other American jazz era dances for over 15 years.
In 2020 he moved to Switzerland where he teaches for a variety of dance schools locally and abroad. He holds several titles from prominent competitions such as – Rock That Swing Fest, Midwest Lindy Fest, Fog City Stomp, Lindy on the Rocks, Nevermore Jazz Ball – to name a few and was a member and choreographer for the high-flying Denver dance troupe “23 Skidoo”.
As a teacher he takes a natural and authentic approach to dancing that anyone can learn whether they are a born dancer or have two left feet. When not dancing he can often be found studying an eclectic range of topics or tackling novel skills and challenges, ever the beginner.
