Jeannie Lin is a shapeshifter dancer who is able to effortlessly adapt, blend, articulate and draw from a myriad of different dance forms and experiences. Her early training included gymnastics, ballet, and modern dance, while her later years included formal study in over 30 styles of partner dance at the Ballroom Dance Teacher's Academy where she graduated with high honors. Now she happily resides in the worlds of fusion and argentine tango, where she weaves in her other dance styles together seamlessly, integrating concepts and creating hybrid movements with grace and fluidity. Recognized for her nuanced and effective teaching style, she's been invited to teach at fusion festivals and workshops across the US and internationally in Europe, Canada, and the UK. Now she lives in Los Angeles where she co-founded LA's first micro-fusion venue, Tiny Dancers, and is currently co-organizing for Angel City Fusion.

Jonathan Liu started dancing through his local West Coast Swing college club in 2013 and has been hooked ever since. Over the years, he has also picked up experience in Tango, Blues, Brazilian Zouk, Contemporary and (most belovedly) Fusion dance. A scientist by training, he loves to approach partner dance from a first principles-based perspective, grounding lessons in simple fundamentals rather than complex patterns. As a regular DJ in the Bay Area, he also is incredibly passionate about incorporating musicality into his teaching repertoire. As someone who picked up dance relatively later in life, Jonathan is a strong believer that anyone can learn to dance, and that everything is more fun when approached from a curious student’s perspective. Come to class to take a deep dive into various facets of partner dance, and most importantly – to have fun!
