Rick Competes in Seattle
Posted: August 30th, 2012, by Rick


This video shows me dancing West Coast Swing at the 2012 Seattle Easter Swing competition. Everything turned out better than anticipated (camera angle, song/partner chemistry, costume, energy) except, believe it or not, the judges barely noticed me here, so I didn't make finals this time. Oh well, it's still tons of fun to watch and enjoy!

 


 

Register for Classes

Usually students arrive 10 to 15 minutes before their first class begins to pre-register for classes.  Optionally students may also contact our studio director, Linda Springstead to enroll in advance for group classes or to schedule private lessons with Rick.
