Greg Dyke has been part of the DanceMode community since 2013 and joined the DanceMode teaching staff in 2023. While Balboa is not his primary dance form, Greg brings deep experience across multiple social dances and a strong understanding of the philosophies, movement principles, and embodied learning approach that define DanceMode Education. Greg is a certified Alexander Technique practitioner with over 20 years of partner dance experience, including Blues, Bal Folk, Lindy Hop, Tango, and Balboa. His work centers on helping dancers move with greater ease, clarity, and coordination by understanding how the body organizes itself — from the spine outward — and how alignment, tone, and efficient use of the body support musical expression and partnership. At Camp Balboa, Greg will teach movement-focused sessions and offer hands-on guidance and feedback (as is customary within the Alexander Technique) to support dancers in refining body mechanics, posture, coordination, and comfort. His teaching emphasizes awareness, adaptability, and rhythm — helping dancers access clearer movement choices, healthier habits, and more responsive connection on the dance floor. Greg is known for his calm presence, precise observations, and ability to meet dancers where they are. His role at Camp Balboa supports the immersive learning environment by helping participants integrate movement education directly into their dancing — not as correction, but as exploration and discovery. Lea has trained consistently with the DanceMode team, joining retreats and intensive weekends with Brenda Jean Russell, developing her Balboa in her home community of Bern, and traveling to international festivals such as Herräng. She is also a leader in the Bern scene and co-organizer of Fusionizers, the world’s largest Fusion Dance Festival (www.fusionizers.com ). For the past three years, Lea has been part of the DanceMode teaching team, assisting Brenda, Greg, and Gabriel. Known for her joyful energy and calm, supportive presence, she brings clarity, warmth, and musical sensitivity to her classes. Her background spans Blues, Balboa, Lindy Hop, Tango, Latin, and Fusion, enriching her approach to Balboa dancing and teaching.
