Giedre's (aka Dizzy Ella) journey into the world of swing dance began with Lindy Hop back in early 2000. After traveling around the world learning and teaching swing dance Giedre established her base in Europe's party capital, Berlin, where she became an active member of a vibrant Balboa dance community. An educator by nature and a historian by the degree, Giedre is currently researching women’s role in early Jazz music and dance history.

Giedre's music selection always reflects her current interests. For her sets at Helswingi Dizzy Ella is preparing a female composer's hour and a New York City vs Kansas City hour. So be ready to swing-out and toss-out to a whole bunch of favorite classics as well as new gems. Dizzy Ella is happy to bring hot Berlin party vibes to Helsinki this September!
