When Did you Start dancing?

2010

How did you start dancing?

Music has been in my life since I first started playing musical instruments back in elementary school but dance came much later on. My freshmen year of college at Northern Arizona University, some classmates and friends mentioned they were going dancing at a vintage diner just off campus. I decided to go along and try it out and found myself going back week after week to learn more. It scratched a musical itch that I didn’t know I had. After a year or two I started to teach the classes and even wrote choreography for the NAU Swing demo team. I kept teaching and dancing and in 2016 moved to Vegas.
