I considered staying anonymous, but then decided that you might want proof that this
site is managed by a vertiable source.
This site was built with the intention of providing an engaging starting point and thorough
resource for people getting into West Coast Swing. I have found that many WCS websites out there are either biased to one studio,
or are embarrasingly outdated, or are not of appropriate quality to represent the dance accurately. My goal was to provide a current,
contemporary, attractive, engaging, encouraging, informative website with a global focus, so that wherever a potential dancer is in
the world, they would be able to discover the most authentic and most loved impression of West Coast Swing.
What makes me an authority
on the subject? Together with my partner Myles Munroe, we are Canada's Champion West Coast Swing couple. We have been partners for
7 years, actively competing at the highest level, teaching, judging, choreographing and performing both locally and internationally. We
travel all over the globe exposing West Coast Swing and training dancers and teachers the most current and authentic form of the dance.
I have university degrees in both Human Kinetics and Education, and have 17 years of teaching/coaching experience. I have extensive
experience leading clubs, organizing events, and writing educational and promotional materials. I have seen the good the bad
and the ugly when it comes to dancing and dance business. I have done my research and have based this website on info and persepctives
gathered from my Champion peers, fellow social dancers, teachers, and promoters. I wish there had been a resource like this for
me when I first started. As with life, alot of time can be wasted going down the wrong path, so hopefully this website steers
you in the right direction to fall and stay in love with West Coast Swing!
