TEACHERS: Rebecca Berman and Sean Krazit
Rebecca Berman loves mixing movement modalities and sharing in partnered co-creation. In class she offers vocabulary to communicate through physical attunement, and shares approaches to explore improvisational rhythmic musicality. She has been involved in various movement projects over many years, and has been teaching Lindy Hop & swing dance since 2007. She is co-founder of PULSE Partner Dance Collective, was the head of teaching staff of Groove Juice Swing in Rochester, NY, co-founder and artistic director of the Flower City Follies (jazz dance performance troupe), and is forever a student of many movement forms including Bellydance, Contact Improv, Bachata Sensual, and more.
Sean Krazit began swing dancing in 2012 and has been in love ever since. He’s traveled around the country to teach, compete, DJ and social dance, and also loves contributing to the local Bay Area swing dancing community. Sean loves to teach about thinking in rhythms, experimenting with your creativity, and developing your own voice and style. He is also a jazz saxophone player, leading swing bands for dancers all around the Bay Area, and particularly enjoys exploring the connections between jazz dancing and jazz music. He’s excited to explore and adapt these concepts for the world of fusion dancing!
