ABOUT PAMELA
Humorous, dynamic, and full of heart with a touch of the anarchic, Pamela was captivated by the energy of Lindy Hop at sixteen when she began classes at Lindyhop.lt Club in Vilnius. Despite her youth, Pamela has illuminated her path by constantly learning anything related to dancing, whether it’s music, psychology, or anatomy.
For Pamela, dancing is about more than perfect movement; it’s about self-expression and connecting with the music. Improvisation is where her passion truly shines, as it continually amazes her with its endless possibilities for creativity and freedom. She finds great joy in practicing and refining her own dancing, constantly uncovering new ideas and insights. Pamela eagerly shares these discoveries in her classes, not just as final outcomes, but as part of the creative process, encouraging students to embrace exploration and growth.
ABOUT BOTH OF US
Tadas and Pamela met on a dance floor in Lithuania, and for years they enjoyed social dancing as it was. Just before the pandemic hit, they decided to practice here and there, now and then. Oh, little did Tadas and Pamela know that they would have all the time on their hands and that they would start meeting each other every week. And just like that, while sharing an interest and passion for African American dances, their casual dance offs slowly grew into a solid partnership. Now, as the world is slowly coming back on its feet, they have started traveling and competing to share their love for dancing. Tadas and Pamela’s classes focus on a personal style, motivation to practice, and surely this powerful magic called IMPROVISATION. They dance to express, to feel and inspire!
