At 18, she traveled the world to deepen her knowledge, eventually discovering her love for West Coast Swing, which blends smoothness, grace, and technique. In 2011, Estelle moved to Montreal to train professionally, refining her skills as both a dancer and teacher while competing internationally. She became the first French All-Star dancer and placed 6th in the Classic division at The Open in 2018, collaborating with top dancers and coaches. Estelle now lives in the Bay Area in California, while still traveling globally to compete, judge, and head judge at WSDC events, and teach. Her warm, approachable style and ability to simplify complex concepts make her a beloved instructor, leaving students more confident and skilled.
