When Did you Start dancing?
September, 2015
How did you start dancing?
After growing up in Maryland, I moved across the country to go to college at Western Washington University. During a Welcome Week hike, I met two people who invited me to go to the club Swing Kids. Now, I had no idea what swing dancing was but I was not going to say no to the first people who has invited me out. So I showed up… and they didn’t. But I stayed anyway and all it took was that one night to get me hooked for life.
