De leraren
De leraren van de eerst Jazz In Town zijn 4 vrolijke, inspirerende en uitdagende dansers.
Julien en Mariette Rayee
Lindy Hop & Balboa
Julien en Marriette wonen in Breda en geven daar al sinds jaar en dag les. Julien is één van de oprichters van de Breda swingdansscene (SwingCityBreda) en heeft een echt dansershart. Julien en Mariette staan het liefst op de dansvloer, het is hun lifestyle.
In 2008 ontdekten Julien en Mariette Lindy Hop, na jarenlang stijldansen verloor hij zijn hart aan Lindy Hop. Vanaf dat moment volgde hij lessen en workshops in binnen- en buitenland.
Mariette was meteen verkocht toen ze Lindy Hop zag. In de beginjaren volgde ze vele workshops en ook wekelijkse lessen in Eindhoven. Na de oprichting van SwingCityBreda is ze les gaan geven in Breda.
Andrea De Vincenzi & Benedetta Valerio
Lindy Hop & Solo Jazz
Andrea en Benedetta zijn van Italiaanse afkomst maar wonen al enkele jaren in Den Haag. Na les te hebben gegeven in een van de grootste scholen van Italië, de prestigieuze Your Swing, verhuisden Andrea en Benedetta naar Nederland en vonden een gepassioneerde Swing-gemeenschap die klaar stond om hen te verwelkomen.
Ze toonden hun passie vanaf de allereerste week en begonnen deze al snel te delen via lessen in de Hague Hoppers Studio.
Andrea en Benedetta zien Lindy Hop als een conversatie, waarbij de éen zich laat inspireren door de ander en waar het improviseren volgens de muziek en technieken geen grenzen kent! Je ziet ze overal: op elk feest in de buurt, maar ook op de vloer van internationale evenementen, of zelfs in geavanceerde competitie, altijd met een grote glimlach op hun gezicht.
Diner
Neha Jain kan fantastisch koken en jij hebt geluk, want speciaal voor ons komt ze naar Nijmegen om haar overheerlijke Indian Streetfoot te maken. Kijk op Saahpaat.com om alvast te watertanden bij haar gerechten.

Namaste, hallo!
Neha Jain – saahpaat
On my couch, day dreaming a little. .. 😉 drawing parallels between Jazz dancing and Indian Streetfood.
The jazzy hand moments, expressions, swirls, twists, hops, the childlike mischief is my definition when I dance jazz, dusted with a sprinkle of attitude! The exact same way the playful flavors of streetfood dances in your mouth!
Combined with the oohs and the aahs expressions.
(Tip : to do jazz hands while eating, add the extra chillies 🔥, but that’ll be your choice so don’t get scared) haha!! Like Eveline always says, ”Smile, enjoy even when you do not know the next step, enjoyy” ♥ hehehe! an ear to ear smile because it’s jazz, what more reason, right!?
Get ready for an explosion of flavors with dancing!
Jazz is love. so is food.

The teachers
The teachers of the first Jazz In Town are 4 cheerful, inspiring and challenging dancers.
Julien and Mariette Rayee
Lindy Hop & Balboa
Julien and Marriette live in Breda and have been teaching there for many years. Julien is one of the founders of the Breda swing dance scene (SwingCityBreda) and has a real dancer’s heart. Julien and Mariette prefer to be on the dance floor, it’s their lifestyle.
In 2008 Julien and Mariette discovered Lindy Hop, after years of ballroom dancing he lost his heart to Lindy Hop. From that moment on he attended classes and workshops at home and abroad.
Mariette was immediately sold when she saw Lindy Hop. In the early years she attended many workshops and weekly classes in Eindhoven. After setting up SwingCityBreda, she started teaching in Breda.
Andrea De Vincenzi & Benedetta Valerio
Lindy Hop & Solo Jazz
Andrea and Benedetta are of Italian descent but have been living in The Hague for several years. After teaching in one of the biggest schools of Italy, the prestigious Your Swing, Andrea and Benedetta moved to the Netherlands and found a passionate Swing community ready to welcome them.
They showed their passion since the very first week and started soon to share it through classes at the Hague Hoppers Studio.
They love to see Lindy Hop as a conversation, where one takes inspiration from the other and where improvising following the music and techniques has no limits! You will see them everywhere: attending every party in the area, but also on the floor of international events, or even in advanced competition, always with a big smile on their faces.
