Maria Mallan & Tamara Lobato
Maria Mallan is a Lindy Hop dancer and sharer.
She felt in love with the dance twelve years ago but she had already a strong connection with jazz music before.
She shares the dance, but also the values and the feeling that drive her to dance this music.
Tamara Lobato has been connected to dance since she was a child. In Hip Hop especially, competing, training and teaching. It wasn’t until 2017 while she was working for Amnesty International in Chile that she was introduced to Swing for the first time by “Swingtiago” (Santiago de Chile). In a short amount of time, Tamara started developed her own unique style and began sharing her incredible joy in every step and every dance. After leaving Chile, she moved to Granada (Spain), where she taught Solo Jazz classes at the “Hophop Swing”. Tamara hasn’t stopped sharing her dance in new places, first, in Poland where she was studying, and now she is currently in her hometown Madrid, where she balances her two worlds, professional psychology and her creative and artistic swing dancing. Wherever you meet Tamara, she will always be preceded by her contagious laughter, her overflowing energy, her artistic movement and give it all attitude in every social and every class. For Tamara, the most important thing is finding the groove, transmitting the music, expressing yourself within the frame of social and cultural values from this Afro-American art form.
