Teachers
Alina Vysotkaya et Nicolas Naman ✨
Alina fell in love with Lindy Hop at 18 and never looked back. Immersed in the world of swing and blues, she has been teaching since 2015 at her school, KVARTAL, in Minsk. An inspiring choreographer and international instructor, she brings fire, elegance, and deep musicality to her dance. Alina thrives on sharing her passion — for her, dance is a powerful space of freedom, creativity, and genuine human connection.
Nicolas Nicolas is a creative soul with a rich dance background, from classical and hip-hop to tango and Lindy Hop. Instantly captivated by swing, he embraced blues early on and became the first to teach it in grand Ouest of France. Since 2008, he has blended his diverse influences into a unique style, sharing his passion in France, Belgium, Spain, Russia, and Belarus. For Nicolas, blues isn’t about showing off — it’s about feeling deeply and connecting authentically with your partner.
Party and Guest
A generous and soulful concert to open A Smooth Blues Weekend #2 with elegance and emotion.
Extravaganza invites you on a true musical journey driven by rich and captivating vocal harmonies.
With three voices blending together like velvet, the band explores the many shades of blues and its influences: from classic blues to fiery gospel, from deep soul to irresistible funk rhythms.
Their music is warm, vibrant, and full of groove — created to move both the heart and the dance floor.
On stage, each musician brings their own unique touch. Lucille delivers a powerful and soulful voice.
Bert, on harmonica and vocals, brings the unmistakable flavor and authenticity of the blues.
Olivier, on guitar and vocals, energizes the audience with his strong and expressive solos.
Driving the groove, Eda on drums and Maelle on double bass give the band its infectious rhythm and vibrant energy.

The true spirit of the blues: raw, honest, and deeply groovy.
“…The blues is the root, everything else is the fruit…”
Saturday night at A Smooth Blues Weekend #2 will be dedicated to the spirit of authentic blues with Triple Trouble, a Brussels-based trio with a raw and heartfelt sound — brewed in a blues bar and fermented in the corner of a living room.
Their music moves freely between traditional blues and modern blues, deeply rooted in the sounds of the Delta Blues and Chicago Blues. Above all, Triple Trouble loves to play songs that speak to their soul and share that emotion with the audience.
On stage, a gritty, soulful voice, a vivid harmonica, and a deep groove instantly transport you to the atmosphere of dusty juke joints and underground bars of 1950s Chicago. Their music is alive, warm, and irresistibly rhythmic — the kind that naturally makes your feet move.
