Ibi & Giulia
Ibirocay Alsén
is an instructor and event director based in Stockholm, Sweden. He has over 25 years of teaching experience and in search of new inspiration, he first witnessed WCS on VHS tapes back in 2001. But it actually wasn’t until a few years later that he realized what he had seen when he stumbled upon several YouTube videos and was immediately hooked. After an introduction course in 2008 he continued on the learning path traveling to events, taking workshops, privates and social dancing. He tried his luck competing for the first time at the UK champs 2012 and is the first Scandinavian dancer to make it up to the All-Star division.
He has been teaching WCS since 2010 and aside from organizing 3 WSDC events in Sweden as well as hosting regular weekly classes in his hometown, he also travels both nationally and internationally during weekends, sharing his knowledge and passion for the dance.
Giulia Rusch
In 2010, Giulia started her dancing career in the traditional way with a Standard & Latin course. She quickly discovered her passion and talent for salsa. She assisted well-known lecturers such as Farid Ferchach and Supermario at international festivals and quickly increased her level. West Coast Swing was added at the end of 2014. The first tournament successes came and she was immediately caught by the fever. Giulia trains intensively and constantly; She is now one of the most successful West Coast Swing dancers in Germany. 2015 was “her year”: She successfully completed her training as a WCS Academy and Global PDIA Intermediate Instructor. This was followed by countless final places at international WSDC tournaments. A custom routine with Marc was rehearsed and presented as the crowning glory in the Rising Star tournament at the US Open. She now teaches at many national and international events and judges and supervises various Jack and Jill tournaments.
