The Teachers
Moe
Moe Sakan has had professional training in many types of dance, including jazz, ballet, tap and contemporary dance.
In 1999 Moe fell in love with the world of Swing dance, since then this has been her dances of choice.
A pearl of the Orient, Moe moved to London in 2000, bringing a sparkle to the local swing dancing scene, and soon became the UK’s top female swing dancer.
An active social and competition dancer, she is proud to have won numerous competition titles.
In 2017, She has the honour of being inducted into the Camp Hollywood Hall Of Fame.
Moe travels the world extensively both for performing and teaching Lindy Hop, Balboa and Shag.
She has also enjoyed dancing for several productions, including theatre, television and films.
Well known as a vintage enthusiast, Moe is passionate about the music and fashion of the Swing era. Her dedication to the culture is also reflected in her attitude towards the dance, as she constantly endeavours to recreate an authentic style, and her passion certainly reflects the spirit of the dance as it was back in the day.
Vincenzo
Vincenzo Fesi is a world-acclaimed dancer, teacher and choreographer. A real globetrotter, he teaches and performs at the most prestigious swing dance events around the world. Paris, Stockholm, Seoul and London are just some of the cities where he is invited as a guest every other weekend.
He was born at Lake Como, but Rome adopted him three years ago. More famous abroad than in the Bel Paese, Vincenzo is an Italian star who shines on the lively international swing dance scene. Inspired by the incomparable Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly and Frankie Manning, Vincenzo Fesi dances the Lindy Hop, the Balboa, the tap dance and many other jazz styles.
With his dark complexion and his contagious smile, Vincenzo looks like a 1940’s movie star and brings much enthusiasm on stage.
Vincenzo organizes intensive workshops for beginners and professional dancers alike, both in Como and in Rome. He has a specific teaching method that he developed throughout the years. Vincenzo exudes a contagious energy that drives his audience crazy. Since 2006 he co-organizes with Isabella Gregorio one of the most popular events in the world: Swing Crash Festival. The event takes place every June in Como. Inspired by old movies and newspapers of the golden age of jazz music, they enlist several live orchestras and hundreds of dancers who turn the city of Como into a magic place.
Vincenzo was special guest at the TV show Dancing with the Stars; he was the MC for Hermes at the “Vogue Fashion Night Out” in London; he had the main role in the short movie Lago di Seta, directed by Renee George and he was the first one to bring the dance at the 38th edition of the Roma Jazz Festival directing a choreographing project with the Massimo Nunzi’s Orchestra Operaia.
Vincenzo is not only a dancer. He choreographs, sings, presents radio shows and he is also a capable narrator of the history of jazz dance. In 2014 he wrote the preface of the Italian edition of the book “Frankie Manning: ambasciatore dello swing”.
