Homer and Cristina Ladas

I seem to make a habit of falling for my guest teachers’ dance styles and this time I have fallen hard. Last night it was the wonderful Homer and Cristina Ladas who were here for a UK roadtrip. I’ve been a youtube fan of theirs for the last few months and then someone at my Monday class (thank you K!) told me that they were in London teaching! I straightaway got home, googled like crazy and then located yesterday’s class. Anyway, I found the class really good and fun. Their teaching style is definitely light hearted and yet they still came out with these lovely moves and now I want to move over to San Francisco! At the end, they did a lovely waltz demonstration and I floated home whistling the Biagi waltz we had practiced to and singing ‘Boom chukka-chukka’ (you had to be there to understand). As I got into bed, I asked my boyfriend if he fancied a holiday to San Francisco – fingers crossed!

  1. Oooh, they are so lovely, aren't they? They were in Oxford last weekend and I took all the classes."Boom chukka-chukka" is definitely a hit:-) I'm thinking about going to Berlin in July, maybe taking a couple of privates witHomer. But San-Francisco is a good alternative, I think;-)

  3. I adore Homer & Cristina. I've asked our Instructor if she could sponsor them at her NYC studio. Hopefully she'll agree. Otherwise I plan to go to San Francisco next year to take classes with them.

  4. SF is looking more and more appealing as I keep finding all these cool dancers, not to mention bloggers from there!

    Still working on the boyfriend! ;-)
