We believe in community and how a tribe of confidence surrounding us can empower us to do things we never thought possible.

We believe in connection, the kind that allows you to feel someone’s heart, someone choices, someone's passion, through one subtle movement. In the waiting, an energy builds between two people and it’s building up to the incredible visual display of emotions that tells a story.

the best dances happen when we hold nothing back and leave our hearts on the dance floor.

Lisa first started dancing at the age of 4 in different styles such as ballet, tap and jazz. She then began training in ballroom at the age of 8 and began competing in ballroom at the age of 14. Training in mainly International latin, Lisa began teaching ballroom in 2007 before she first saw West Coast Swing at a local country bar in 2010. She then attended her first convention at Swingtime in the Rockies a month later and became hooked to the versatile nature of the dance. She continued traveling all over the country competing on the WSDC circuit and making her first appearance at the US Open in 2012. She's known for her technique and patience as a follower and has placed top 5 in numerous JnJ and Strictly divisions.

Stephen began his West Coast Swing journey in 2012 after spending his teenage years obsessed with martial arts. Stephen is a 2nd degree black belt in Kempo and taught martial arts for 5 years before taking his first dance classes in college. After dabbling in a variety of social partner dances and break dancing, Stephen found his passion for West Coast swing, a passion that has only increased in recent years as he's continued to travel and compete in the All Star division. He loves the deep connection and playful musicality possible within West Coast Swing, and loves cheering on his friends.

Stephen and Lisa began their partnership in the beginning of 2018, debuting their first routine "Cry to Me" to warm support from Lisa's hometown.  They went on to win 1st place in the US Open Rising Star Classic division, as well as the Rising Star Tour in 2019 with their second routine, "Ordinary People". Now dancing in Classic, they are excited to continue traveling, teaching, and growing together in this amazing community.

Phoenix knew early on that he enjoys following even more than leading, which has spurred him to train and excel in both roles. His passion for following led him to create the Facebook group "Degendering West Coast Swing", a community of dancers interested in promoting the acceptance and encouragement of  gender neutral dancing (ie. anyone can lead or follow, regardless of gender). The community's efforts have collectively brought about a rule change to allow nontraditional dancers to both dance and be recognized in West Coast Swing's primary competitive formats. Since this change, Phoenix is among the first in the world to achieve a dual "All-Star" competitive ranking both as a leader and follower.

Exercising both roles has given Phoenix a broad understanding of the intricacies of partner dancing from both sides of the connection. His teaching style favors connection, partnering, and movement dynamics. Phoenix is celebrated for his playful musicality and shameless confidence on the dance floor. His advocacy for gender neutral dancing is still going strong, and he is proud to see how much progress has come from the last few years.  He now spends multiple weekends each month travelling, teaching, competing, DJing, and judging around the world.
