About Kris and Laura
Kris has been a music nerd for as long as she can remember. Her father introduced her to the jazz greats when she was a little girl, and she discovered blues pioneers like Bessie Smith and Robert Johnson long before she'd ever heard of partner dancing. So when she started dancing swing and blues in 2007, she fell in love all over again.
Kris knows how to set a good mood and brings great energy to the classroom. Passionate about her students' success, she guides them through the details while keeping the big picture in mind: fun social dancing with great technique.
With her background in teaching astrophysics, Kris knows how to break down complex information into logical and easy to execute bits for her students. Her approach to dance is methodical and precise – something she also focusses on in her work with the SwingStep teaching team – and she has an excellent feeling for what the students need in order to achieve the next level in their dancing.
Laura has been fascinated by music and dance since she was a small child. Starting at only four years old she moved through ballet, ballroom, latin, capoeira, and tango argentino. But none of these dances can compare with the way blues and swing gripped her from her first night on the dance floor. She was immediately inspired: by the multifaceted music, by the freedom, and - as a connection junkie at heart - by the melting connection between lead and follow.
Laura is an empathic presence in dance classes. She cares about her students and gives them a great balance between freedom and technique. Her greatest talent and joy as a teacher is personal feedback: she loves working with students individually during class, honing in on the details that allow them to make lasting improvements.
