Co-founder of The Blues Room, Adamo is the Italian master of musicality! He encourages you to be in the moment and truly connect to your partner and the music. His clear, concise (and often comical) teaching makes even complex things seem simple, and his passion for blues dance and music is infectious.

Adamo’s dance journey started a long time ago, when he spontaneously walked into a Rock ‘n’ Roll class and got hooked by his very first rock step. Soon after he discovered the Lindy Hop, Balboa and Blues, and he’s been dancing these beautiful dances ever since!

Adamo has an accredited qualification in teaching adults and there’s nothing more he loves than passing on his passion for blues dance to others. Together, Adamo and Vicci have been teaching blues dance for the past 12 years. They spent 5 years nurturing the blues scene in London where they successfully set up 5 weekly classes, 2 weekly social dances with live music, a buzzing monthly social with live music (which is still going strong today!), and started Europe’s first blues dance performance troupe. They moved to Valencia in 2016  where they taught weekly blues classes and one-off workshops for a selection of the Lindy Hop schools, and ran live music events.

In addition to growing local dance communities, Adamo has also co-founded The Blues Room online school, three annual festivals (ESpanish Blues Festival: Spring Edition, ESpanish Blues Festival: Winter Edition, and Good Time Blues Fest) and two intensive training events (Bluesology Teacher Training and The Jump).

Together, Adamo and Vicci have developed clear philosophies in how they approach the dance and how they teach, and are excited to share these thoughts with you!

As guests in a dance from another culture they are constantly learning and assessing how they can minimise the appropriation of the dance, aiming to respect and honour the roots of the dance through their learning and teaching.
