Tomer & Rivital
Meet Tomer & Rivital!!!
Tomer –
Shortly after discovering Swing dancing, Tomer began teaching in Tel Aviv’s local scene in 2014. Tomer’s extensive background in martial arts and rock climbing has given him a keen understanding of fitness and various methods to study movement. As a Jazz music enthusiast, Tomer offers his students helpful insights to connect to the music both intellectually and physically. He finds that intricate and delicate movements are what make swing dance magical and enjoys sharing this passion with his students.
Rivital –
Rivital fell in love with Lindy Hop in a party in New York and began
teaching Tel Aviv in 2013. She believes that nothing is more
exhilarating than social dancing and finds it endlessly inspiring.
Fascinated by the rich history of vernacular jazz, Rivital puts a
strong emphasis on connection to the roots of the dance. She breaks
down complex dance techniques into simple, easily mastered steps so
that everyone, regardless of dance background, can have fun and let
loose on the dance floor.
Tomer and Rivital are passionate Lindy Hop dancers. Their love for
movement, dance and most of all Jazz music is what drew them to this
dance. In their classes they put a large emphasis on dancing through
connection to the music. They teach regularly at Swing It Dance School
in Israel. They are both certified fitness instructors and use this knowledge in
their own training and in classes they teach. As they are strong
believers in practice and training, they wish to inspire their
students and show them that hard work pays off.
