Shobhana Nambiar

Hopeless at sports..Shob has been dancing since she was 5 years old.  She has tried ballet, contemporary, hip hop, funk, salsa, belly dancing, african and is yet to find one she doesn't like.  But when she found swing dancing, she discovered dancing with a partner is twice as fun!

Needing some light relief from her day job as an emergency doctor, she threw herself into the world of swing and has been lucky enough to meet some wonderful friends, perform with SP's corporate troupe, choreograph, compete and teach.  It has been an amazing journey..not to mention it introduced her to one hot Canadian!

Today she is a proud member of Harlem Shout and, with Andy, she has established a new venue at the Czech house in Nth Melbourne this year.  She is so excited to see the wonderful new students there discover the joy of lindy! 

Shob loves embracing lots of different influences into her swing dancing..and loves both the fast and furious and the slow and sultry.  She still frequently takes classes and workshops to keep discovering new ways to push her dancing
