Meet our Guest Teacher: We’re thrilled to welcome Luísa Barros😃
Biography
Luísa has been passionate about dance since childhood, starting with Classical Ballet before also dedicating herself to another passion, classical piano. Her journey into American dances began with Tap Dance in 2006 and Lindy Hop in 2007, later exploring a wide range of styles including Solo Jazz, Blues, Balboa, S**g, Boogie Woogie, Contemporary Dance, and Forró.
In 2014, she discovered Blues and fell in love with its language and expression. Since then, she has attended several international Blues festivals and started teaching in 2017 to help grow and share the local Blues community. Alongside teaching and occasionally DJing, she has also been involved in organizing Swing and Blues festivals and social dance events in Porto.
What Luísa values most in dance is the connection with the music, with her partner, and with herself, using the body as a musical instrument and a powerful form of self-expression.
