SILJA RAUTANEN
Silja has been dancing over 13 years, and most of that time she has spent with twerk. Twerk as her dance hobby started about seven years ago when she was part of the dance group coached by Meri. Nowadays Silja is coaching this same group and she also dances in two dance groups in Tampere. Her main dance styles are twerk and reggaeton.

As a dancer, Silja is goal-directed and ambitious, and she often participates in different teachers’ intensive courses. During her own classes, she wants to challenge people but the main thing in dancing is to have fun, sweat hard and learn something new.

MERI NIEMI
Also in Twerk Finnish National Championships participated TwerkMama Meri is such an energy bomb whose classes are filled with laugh and humor – not forgetting hard workout.

Meri has been dancing different dance styles and in twerk she is fascinated by its physicality, roughness and challenging techniques. According to her, the best thing in twerk is that it allows one to do an extremely hard workout and simultaneously praise one’s own body. Meri thinks that it is amazing to see how people go beyond themselves and do something they could not even believed to be possible. Everyone can come to the class just the way they are, regardless of the size of the butt.

TWERK

Twerk is an engaging and fun dance style that has gained great popularity around the world. Its moves can be easily taken to the dance floor and probably that is why it is a common dance style at the parties. During twerk classes, you will get diversely familiar with various techniques, such as shaking, jiggle, thrusting and throwing the hip and bounce as well as some floorwork. In the beginning of the class, we will have a warm-up, after which we will go through some basic movements. The rest of the class is reserved for the choreography. Twerk improves physical fitness comprehensively, especially back, thigh, buttock and abdominal muscles.

ATTENTION! Twerk classes are meant for over 15-year-olds.
