Shieva and Giovanni are balboa dancers and teachers based in Berlin. They’re passionate not only about the dance, but particularly about teaching. They love to go deep into details and are dedicated to helping people become better dancers. Their classes are known for being fun, but also dense and challenging!

For Giovanni dance has been a lifelong passion. In 2018 he discovered Balboa and it quickly became a nightly ritual. Now he’s dedicated to sharing the joy of dance through teaching weekly classes and weekend workshops in Berlin. 

Shieva has been dancing various swing dances since 2010. Starting with Lindy Hop and Solo Jazz, then spending many years focusing on Blues and finally immersing herself in Balboa around 10 years ago. 

Between them they’ve attended numerous festivals around Europe and in the USA, and have individually placed in finals of several competitions.
