My Story:
I was attending UCR Ballroom and Swing Club in late 1999. My focus has been on learning ballroom dances, however, one day Desmond and Lanette demonstrated a dance called Lindy Hop; I have been hooked since. I went through the ropes with UCR Swing Club, even taking the helm as President for 2 years. I then took lessons from James Bennett and Grace Alonso at Backstreet Performing Arts in Riverside, CA. They gave me a solid foundation from which I could evolve to become a better dancer. After a few years of trying to learn on my own, I then decided to join One2Swing Jitterbugs, led by Ben Yau and Sheri Kang Yau. With the team, I continue to have fun, improve my dancing and contribute to the swing dance community.
