We are proud to bring you our vision of what a student workshop should be: fun, affordable, and full of the party! About Nathan and Véro Nathan and Véro's unique style of swing dancing combines the technical strengths of Quebec city's dancing with the improvisational Detroit style. Nathan and Véro love to dance fast, be it Balboa, Lindy Hop, or Charleston, and they're bringing all of their swing arsenal to our workshop! The two dancers have become ambassadors of Collegiate Shag, making it their mission to spread the dance throughout Quebec and the surrounding cities. Teachers with Port-O-Swing in Quebec city since 2003, Nathan and Véro hold over a dozen top three competition placements between them, including becoming 2005's Vice - Champions in Collegiate Shag at the Canadian Swing Championships. They've taught Lindy Hop, Shag, Balboa and Charleston in various cities and they're eager to spread their love of dance in Ottawa! Otherwise check out QSRV.net , and don ’t forget to register for it at our workshop! Schedule Here is our schedule for the weekend. Everything has been confirmed, except for the Saturday Night Dance, but that will be figured out shortly.
