Tze & Dalena

We are SO excited to welcome Wee Tze Yi (Zee) & Dalena Lee back to Valentine Swing 2027!

Coming all the way from Singapore, they bring two different perspectives to the dance floor and that’s exactly what makes this duo so exciting.

Tze is a WSDC Champion, multi-genre dance champion and founder of ZiggyFeet Academy.With more than 20 years of experience across West Coast Swing, Salsa and Bachata, his dancing is grounded, rhythmic and ridiculously musical. And if you’re someone who wants to understand WHY things work, you’re going to love learning from him. Tze has a talent for taking complex ideas and turning them into practical tools you can actually feel and use in your dancing.

Dalena brings a completely different kind of magic.
With a background in ballet, Chinese dance and cheerleading, combined with years of experience in WCS, Salsa and Bachata, she is known for her beautiful lines, clean spins, playful musicality and expressive styling. But for Dalena, styling isn’t just about making something look pretty. It’s about understanding your own movement, making confident choices and finding space for personality, play and expression inside the partnership. Because great following isn’t passive.

And styling isn’t decoration. It’s part of the conversation.

Both have taught, competed, performed and judged internationally, representing Singapore and the Asian dance community around the world.
And now…

They’re bringing all of that knowledge, creativity and energy to Valentine Swing 2027. 

Okay… Australia is coming to the castle. And they’re bringing ENERGY. A lot of it. We’re ridiculously excited to welcome Zac & Maddy back to Valentine Swing 2027! 

With more than three decades of combined experience in teaching, competing, performing and judging, these two know their WCS.

But what we love just as much?

The energy they bring to the community.
Big personalities
Genuine connection
Lots of laughter
And an unreasonable amount of energy on the social floor

Zac & Maddy have made a name for themselves not only through their dancing, but through the atmosphere they create around them. Their classes are about learning, challenging yourself and having a really good time while doing it. 

We are incredibly proud to welcome Chuck Brown back to Valentine Swing 2027! 

Chuck has dedicated more than 25 years to West Coast Swing as a Champion-level dancer, international instructor, Chief Judge and community builder, teaching and judging in more than 30 countries around the world.

Chuck is known for taking things that can feel complicated, connection, movement, partnership, timing, biomechanics and breaking them down into ideas that actually make sense in your body.

No magic tricks.

No “just do this.”

There’s a WHY behind it.

His teaching combines physics, musicality and partnership mechanics to help dancers move with more intention, less unnecessary tension and a much deeper understanding of what is happening between two people. Because sometimes the biggest breakthrough isn’t learning another pattern.
It’s finally understanding something you’ve been doing for years.

We’re so excited to welcome Lisa Shirokova & Marcin Kowalczyk to Valentine Swing 2027! 

Coming from Skalski Dance School in Kraków, Lisa & Marcin are an energetic duo brought together by their love for West Coast Swing, musicality and freedom of expression on the dance floor.

Lisa brings years of experience both competing and teaching. Today, she loves inspiring dancers to play, experiment and explore their own style, because dancing gets a lot more interesting when you allow yourself to make it yours.

Marcin has spent the past several years diving deep into West Coast Swing and loves sharing what he has learned along the way. His philosophy? Everyone can learn to dance, sometimes you just have to give yourself the chance.

Together, Lisa & Marcin bring a playful approach to WCS with a strong focus on musicality, improvisation and good energy.

And that sounds pretty Valentine Swing to us. Every dancer gets to write their own story.
We can’t wait to see what happens when the music starts.
