Aiala & Gurutz

Aiala Larreina She began dancing as a child with euskal dantzak (Basque folk dance), both in classes and at community and family festivities. After eight years in that discipline she stepped away from formal training and explored other styles. Discovering swing, and diving into its history and culture, reignited the emotional spark that dance gave her. She moved to Madrid six years ago and now teaches while sharing the history that accompanies this culture.

Gurutz Larrea He discovered swing at the Vitoria-Gasteiz Jazz Festival in his hometown, where he began dancing. Little by little he became more immersed in the world of swing and set aside skateboarding and handball, sports he had practiced since the age of 13. He has been based in Madrid for six years and continues to grow as a dancer and teacher in this project, which he shares alongside his teammates.
