Alba Steinlein and Javi Molina
from Valencia (Spain)

We are very happy to have this two wonderful dancers in our house sharing their passion and joy! It is hard to put in words how much those two have done and are doing for the swing dance community! Thank you for being such heartfelt humans. The connection to the spirit and the roots of this dance combined with full passion everyday makes these two an unique part of the Lindy Hop of today. In their school "Spirit of St. Louis" living history is happening everyday. If you ever have the chance to join an event or some days in their school in Valencia we warmly recommend you to go there dancing.

Alba is from Donosti, and although she started dancing other disciplines, she had her first contact with Lindy Hop almost 10 years ago. She shares her ideas and her energy at Spirit Valencia. She is also a historian so she loves to search through books, records and videos. She has admiration and respect for the great dancers of the Swing Era, like the Whitey’s Lindy Hoppers, Marie Bryant or Dorothy Dandridge, and she loves Cab Calloway, both as a musician and as a dancer.

Javi created the Spirit Valencia Swing Project almost 20 years ago and is one of those responsible for the Lindy Hop community in Spain. Since then, he has dedicated all his time to learning about and transmitting the roots and values of this culture. He started out dancing Acrobatic Rock and performing on national tours, so he loves aerials. He gets excited every time he sees Whitey's Lindy Hoppers in Hellzapoppin, it's a huge dose of inspiration and energy.

The School
Lindy Hop Saarbrücken

Our Swing inspiration comes straight out of the Spirit Moves (documentary of black social dance by Mura Dehn), famous clips and the stories of old-timers. These stories reflect, what swing nights felt like, when they were danced back in the days.
We mostly are interested in dancing and teaching the Swing that was born in Harlem New York. For us this kind of dance is an intimate connection between dancers, based on improvisation and using the body to express the rawness of jazz music, as well as the feeling of the moment. Our classes are fun and liberating, aiming to get students inspired and motivated to create and exchange, as they explore the music and themselves!
