💭 Ever had a dance that felt like the world disappeared? That’s what happened to us at @finnfestwcs — three minutes where it felt like nobody else was in the room but us and the music. 🖤 We are freaking in love with this song! 💃 @nana_barreau 🕺 @jaoparada 🎵 @nickbroadhurst - little lover 🎥 @langowska_dancevideos #westcoastswing #modernswing #dancetraveler #improv #finland #proshow #dancerslife #dance #wcs

Technique gets you there… But this? This is what happens when you let go. Two friends, one conversation, and a lot of play. GGP Flore Berne with João Parada ✨ 👉 More of this? 👀 #westcoastswing #fundance #improvisation #swingdance #champion

Joao writing.. Some dances carry more than we know in the moment. We performed this to @ludovico_einaudi at @spring.into.swing The room went quiet. People were moved. The applause felt like something real had passed through the space. That same day, we didn’t know it yet, I lost my uncle. It’s not an easy start of the week but I wanted to dedicate this dance for him now! I love you, Always 🤍

Teaching, traveling, and enjoying every moment of it. Some moments don’t need many words… just grateful to be here, living this, and sharing it with someone who makes it even better 🇮🇹✨❤️

The music said “pop a cork” He said: say less 🫧 We both lost it. The room lost it. This is why we dance. 🕺 @jaoparada 💃 @nana_barreau 🎥 @swingshot.wcs #westcoastswing #dancetok #dancetok #fyp

💭 What do you do when grandma asks for an improv and the whole family is watching? We went digging through our playlist for something nostalgic and high energy, and this one just jumped at us. 🔥 Nana’s family came to cheer us on, and Ne-Yo handed us the perfect soundtrack. 🖤 💃 @nana_barreau 🕺 @jaoparada 🎵 @neyo - Cause I Said So #westcoastswing #modernswing #wcs #dancetraveler #improv

Winter had the snow ❄️ Summer had the waves ☀️ Autumn had the leaves 🍂 Spring gets the cherry blossoms 🌸 They said find a beautiful location They didn’t mention the mud, the wet grass or the hill 🌿😂 Worth it? Obviously! 🖤 🎵 Risk It All — @brunomars Where should we film next? 👇 #westcoastswing #dancevideo #dance #partnerdance #springvibes
