Alice Mei

Alice is definitely at her happiest when she is swingin’ it on the dance-floor. She started dancing at the age of 4 and hasn’t stopped since. With years of Ballet, Contemporary and Jazz dance under her belt, she eventually met her true love - Lindy Hop. She has been touring and teaching swing dancing full time, living the adventurous Lindy-Lifestyle for the past five years.

Alice enjoys keeping her dancing simple and natural. She has won several titles in prestigious competitions such as ULHS , ILHC and ALHC. In class, she teaches the same principles that she cherishes as a dancer and she mainly focuses on keeping things in rhythm with a natural body movement.

Alice is also a member of The Ninjammerz, with which she performs and competes regularly.

William Mauvais

William started couple dancing at the age of 14 years, when he followed his parents in their weekly dance class. As a young teen, he took a drastic decision and quit a career in football (soccer) to join the Montpellier dance competition team.

It wasn’t long before the prizes start rolling in, and William now travels the world to teach his passion. With great talent in dance, comedy and his unique style, William pursues his training with great choreographers in dance, but also in theatre. After standing out in the musical comedy, ‘L’enfer d’Euridice’, he now has strong artistic references. While he is a lover of many types of music, he now focuses on Swing and Jazz. He joins many musicians on their tours in Europe and to the United States. It’s with unlimited imagination that he creates all the routines and musical arrangements for his shows.

William has a very long list of achievements in competition - fourth title of Boogie Woogie world Champion in 2010, 1st place in the Showcase division at LindyShock, 1st place in the Jack n Jill competition at Snowball, and also the 1st place in the Strictly division at the Boston Tea Party.

His human skills make him an unusual and attaching person, who shares his joy and knowledge with his whole entourage.

Maeva Truntzer

Maeva started modern jazz dance at the age of four, and after several years, was attracted by more rythmical dances like Boogie Woogie and the Lindy Hop. With easy and surprising abilities, Maeva rose through the ranks to become the Supreme Champion of Europe and the World in Boogie Woogie, Junior, at the age of 15. She repeated this achievement three years later in the highest category of this discipline. At 18 years of age, Maeva left her hometown to teach in Paris at one of the most prestigious dance schools with her partner. Subsequently, she joined the musical comedy troop, “L’enfer d’Euridice”, which produced several shows at La Cigale in Paris. Maeva continues her training with several choreographers with whom she has acquired numerous competencies in dance, teaching and theatre.

For four years now, she has travelled the world to teach Boogie Woogie in international workshops. She is now much more oriented towards the world of Swing in general.

After having received the fourth world championship titles in Boogie Woogie in 2010 Maeva has also won many competitions in Lindy Hop and in the Showcase category (1st place showcase at Lindyshock, 1st place Strictly Lindy at Boston tea party ….)

With a strong character and great charm, Maeva is determined to succeed in this artistic domain.
