Joel :

Joel Ovonlen-Jones is an exciting new talent emerging in the world dance. 

Joel has been dancing lifelong but his true love and speciality is in the Swing-Era styles, such as Vernacular Jazz and Lindy Hop. Joel’s movement truly embodies jazz and he views the artform as the perfect instrument to life, offering a creative outlet through times of happiness, suffering and everything in-between.

Joel has been teaching Lindy Hop and jazz for over 7 years. His teaching philosophy respects the rawness and authentic nature of the dance, whilst encouraging students to find their own creative voice. You can find his recent work in TV and film in ‘The Six Triple Eight’, Blitz and in two recent Agatha Christie episodes.


Lana is a multifaceted dancer, choreographer and educator specialising in vernacular jazz. She has over 15

years of industry experience, having worked extensively in TV, film and theatre. Lana's notable work includes Jazz at the Lincoln Centre with Wynton Marsalis and performing as Anne Johnson in the recreation of ‘Hellzapoppin’ at Frankie 95: Ambassador of Swing. 

She most recently worked as choreographer on hit TV show Rivals and assistant choreographer on Bridgerton and Dr Who.

As a teacher, Lana aims to inspire students to work beyond simple execution of movement towards embodiment of Jazz. Jazz is more than steps. Finding  the balance, where strong fundamental techniques are the backbone to create individual artistry and freedom to dance.
