Sandrine Lambin-Gagnon

Beginning first of all with the solo dances during her childhood, her steps preferred to go discover the universe of the fifties to its adolescence. Being part of the first group of student of Jivestudio, and the first team of the studio, Sandrine felt in love with this energetic dance that rockabilly jive is. Today, besides being a part of Jivestudio’s teachers team, she has the privilege of coaching the Jive Tonic team. She discovered with the years of the other dances swing, such as Lindy hop, the Balboa and Boogie-Woogie for which she teaches too today. Her love for the swing dances is only growing since her entry in this univers. It’s now with pleasure that she participates to many swing events and competitions.
