Workshop Teachers: Stefan Huynh & Elaine Buchignani
Stefan started out with ballroom dancing in high school, but he really fell headfirst into dancing when he discovered swing. He’s known for his dynamic dance style, clarity of instruction, and detailed pedagogy. He is a co-founder of Swing Dance SCT along with his wife, Elaine.
Elaine is a certified dance addict and the co-founder of Swing Dance SCT. She’s dived deep into the worlds of ballet, modern, circus, and ballroom, but nothing captures her heart like swing and jazz dancing. She’s known for her keen eye for body mechanics and dramatic dance style.
