Giedre Paplaityte

Giedre fell in love with jazz dances more than a decade ago and can't really remember the life before Lindy hop and all that jazz. When she's not teaching around the world, one can find Giedre burning the dance floor in one of her homes - may it be Vilnius or Berlin. Giedres' secret for inspired life is to never stop learning and sharing the love for music and dance. She is known for her spontaneous performances to traditional jazz music and happy intuitive teaching. In her classes you will work on expression and musicality, but also on movement techniques that will make you a stronger and more self-confident dancer.

How Dizzy Ella was born…

Giedre writes: “I moved to Berlin in search for creative freedom back in 2014 and this dirty and sexy city became my home since. In Berlin I met amazing jazz musicians who inspired to dive into improvisation during my performances. I started soaking up the energy from the room and bouncing it back at the audience. After innumerable nights dancing to one of my favourite bands Dizzy Birds I decided to create a piece to their version of “Egyptian Ella”. The name of the band merged with the name of the tune and it sounded so catchy to me. It encapsulates all of what I love about jazz era, but it has a touch of contemporary.”
