Watch Adela dance here:
Adela Su is a West Coast Swing dancer/competitor who has been teaching in Charlottesville/Central Virginia for 25+ years with a fondness for technique/drills instruction. She and her husband, Eddie Karoliussen, offer private lessons, hold group classes, and host the occasional dance. At The Open Swing Dance Championships in 2022, Adela + Eddie were the recipients of the first Masters Community Inspiration Award. Adela is also a GPDIA certified dance instructor, judge, long-time volunteer (including past-President/Board of Director) with the Charlottesville Swing Dance Society (CSDS), and volunteer (Ombudsman Committee/Chair, Hall of Fame Committee) with the World Swing Dance Council (WSDC). Adela studies with the top professionals to improve her dancing and for teacher training, and she enjoys sharing her knowledge and experiences with others.
Adela is extremely scent-sensitive, even to pleasant-smelling scents, so please do not bring her any flowers (she does like chocolate and wine!) or wear perfume, cologne, body lotion, or any personal products that contain scents. Showering, wearing clean clothes, and deodorant are good! 🙏✅😉🍷🍫
