Samantha started dancing when she was 5 years old. She began with ballet and tap, moving to jazz and ballroom once she started college. When introduced to West Coast Swing she was able to connect it with her past dances while incorporating her musical knowledge to develop her unique musicality. She finds West Coast Swing to be a fun, stress relieving outlet, that allows her to express herself creatively as an art.
She cannot wait to share her love of WCS with everyone!
Mike started dancing in 2009 at a country venue in San Diego. It was here that he was introduced to the concept of movement to music. As a former athlete and lifelong musician, dance captured his attention as it was a culmination of two things that he loved. After exploring various dances, West Coast Swing captured his heart for it's ability to create. He found joy and a freedom of expression embedded within the technique and personal style of West Coast Swing.
Mike also has passion for DJing and you can find his playlists here.
