BIOS
JAKUB & EMELINE
Natively from Czech Republic & Reunion Island, Jakub and Em took their
first steps into the dance world at the age of 16 and 12, both
starting in Ballroom. As soon as they discovered West Coast Swing,
they were drawn to the creativity, musicality, and freedom.
Their dance world is shaped around multiple influences such as urban
dances, contemporary, modern, zouk, & contact improvisation; both
being eager to learn and assimilate new tools from other dance forms
to expand their library of movement, expression, and ways to connect.
The J’Em story began in June 2016, when they were hired for a
styling workshop to work together. They have been traveling the world
together ever since, flying from country to country to share their
passion for dancing. After years being part of the top 10 finalists at
the US Open Swing Dance Championships, they just placed 1st in the
Classic Division in November 2024.
SHAII
discovered his love for dance through his parents, social dance
champions, Michael and Yvette Woods.
With over 15 years of professional dance and acrobatic training and a
minor in Modern Dance from Western University, he developed deep
insight into movement and body dynamics. His national and
international experience in performance and choreography led to
founding Divine Movement Dance and Wellness under CameraShaii
Productions. The company uses dance movement therapy and quantum
principles to enhance mind-body connection. Divine Movement D&W
focuses on the mission of being a catalyst to reconnect the mind, of
those who seek healing through movement, with their physical form.
Shaii is thrilled to join the west coast's dance community, alongside
the incredible Émeline and Jakub, for a legendary weekend!
