Jeppe Hansen, DK

Jeppe Laurits Hansen: Play and exuberant energy are the key words when Jeppe teaches. For more than ten years, Jeppe has learned from his playful Cuban style in the salsa, son, rumba, chachacha and rueda de casino.
Jeppe’s communication of the dance is characterized by a really good pedagogy and eye for technical details that make the dance easier, more fun and more expressive.
But central to Jeppe’s dance education are the mechanisms that make us hang really well together in the couple dance and really feel each other
Jeppe will at the Camp teach at the beginners team with Steffen & Trine
