We have been lucky to have Marine Fabre become part of our dance community during the last month. She is an All-Star dancer who has lived in Montreal, California, and Oregon to develop her dancing. During her time as a dancer she was also instrumental in developing some of the most stylish shoes in the West Coast Swing scene. Currently, Marine and her fiancé are settling in our local area, and I'm thrilled that she is contributing to our learning environment.
These workshops will focus on cool moves, follower styling, developing a lead that encourages follower expressiveness.

Your Instructor: Marine Fabre
From a background of gymnastics and hip hop, Marine’s swing-dancing journey began with Lindy Hop in 2006—but West Coast Swing quickly stole her heart when she discovered it in 2008. She soon began teaching, running workshops, and organizing events in her hometown of Montreal, Canada.
In 2012, Marine moved to California to pursue competitive dancing, reaching the All-Star level and performing in the Showcase division. Along the way, she co-founded the SwayD dance shoe brand, launching the first dance boots to hit the scene. She later branched out to build her own independent line, Marine Lauren (marinelaurenshoes.com).
Her dance adventures have since taken her through the Pacific Northwest, and she recently returned to the East Coast to be closer to family. Marine is excited to meet and dance with the Southern Connecticut community!
