We are Tanya and Sophie and we are creating something warm, inclusive and community driven for Swing dancers in Birmingham. A little bit about us:

Tanya has been teaching Lindy Hop for eight years and has trained extensively across Europe with internationally renowne

d dancers. She has competed internationally, taught workshops around the UK and has a strong foundation in Lindy Hop, Collegiate Shag, Charleston, 1920s and 1930s solo jazz, movement, rhythm and musicality. Her teaching style is clear, progressive, technique-focused and encouraging, with an emphasis on connection, creativity and building confident social dancers. Since her first lindy hop taster class at university, Sophie has been hooked on the joy of dancing, swing music and the connections and community it brings. Her teaching style aims to guide others to find more joy through dance, becoming more connected to the music, their own bodies and each other. She has travelled to dance festivals around the UK, Europe and danced in cities around the world. Sophie has been teaching for a few years and is excited to delve into new content with you.

CALL & RESPONSE: A special guest workshop with Gabriela Novellino. Ticket link in Bio.

We’re very excited to welcome Gabriela Novellino to Birmingham for a special evening exploring Call & Response in jazz dance.

Across two open-level classes, we’ll explore rhythm, musicality, listening and interaction through both solo movement and partner dancing.

💛 Class 1 – Solo Jazz
💛 Class 2 – Partner Dancing

The classes are designed to complement one another beautifully, but can also be taken individually.

From our first conversations with Gabs, it felt like her approach to jazz dance, connection and community aligned so naturally with what we care about and want to keep building at Rhythm Itch, so we honestly can’t wait to share this evening with you.

Suitable for all levels
No partner needed
Friendly and community-focused atmosphere

🎟️ One class – £10
🎟️ Both classes – £15

CALL & RESPONSE: A special guest workshop with Gabriela Novellion. Tickets are now live via the link in bio

We’re really excited to be welcoming Gabriela Novellion to Birmingham for a special evening exploring Call & Response in jazz dance.

• Open level
• No partner needed
• One class £10 / both classes £15

Call & Response sits at the heart of jazz music and Black vernacular dance traditions: listening, responding, interacting and creating conversation through rhythm and movement. It’s such a huge part of what makes jazz dance feel alive, social and connected.

Across two open-level classes, we’ll explore these ideas through both Solo Jazz and Partner Dancing

From our first conversations with Gabs, it felt like her approach to history, movement, connection and community aligned so naturally with what we care about and want to keep building at Rhythm Itch, so this one feels particularly special to us.
