Here is the website link for more information on all things Swingtacular... http://www.DanceGeekProductions.art The weekend will have the same two main focuses as always: • Leveled, concept based workshops led by some of our favorite instructors in the world. NO PATTERNS ALLOWED (unless utilized to deliver a concept of course). “Give a man a fish, and feed him for a night. Teach a man to fish, and feed him for a lifetime.” The goal of these workshops is to teach you how to fish like crazy. • An incredible social dancing experience. We will have FOUR nights of amazing social dancing with tunes mixed in from some of the best DJs on the WCS circuit and some tremendous live musicians. This is truly going to be the social dance experience of the year... 2025 Staff (2026 TBA) WCS Workshop Instructors: Austin Kois & Estelle Bonnaire Ben & Cameo McHenry Ben Morris & Victoria Henk Ben O'Neal & Irina Amzashvili Christopher Dumond & Emily Huang Conor McClure & Larisa Tingle Deon Harrell & Judith Asem Joel Torgeson & Chantelle Pianetta John Kirkconnell & Courtney Adair Jordan Frisbee & Tatiana Mollmann Kevin & Nataliya Kane KP Rutland & Bryn Anderson Kyle Redd & Sarah Vann Drake Markus Smith & Tren Veal Ryan Boz & Lizzy Spann Thibault Ramirez & Nicole Ramirez Wingo & Jade Bryan Anna Wallace Brandi Guild Demetre Souliotes Emily Schubert Malia Jameson Phoenix Grey Samantha Buckwalter Tara Trafzer Lindy Hop Instructors: Anthony Chen & Irina Amzashvili Judging Staff: Courtney Adair (Head Judge) Kelly Casanova (Assistant Head Judge) Andy Bouman (Raw Scoring Assistant) John Kirkconnell (Raw Scoring Assistant) Bella Viramontes Dani Canziani Hannah Guttman Kara Saunders Lisa Picard Matt Richey Michelle Kinkaid Ryan Crutcher Sharon Her Stephanie McHenry Thomas Carter Tony Schubert With more TBA... *Most of our Instructional Staff will be judging as well* DJ Staff: Forrest Hanson (Head DJ) Aidan Keith-Hynes Anya Crane Haley Hauglum Helen Tocco Kathleen Sun Koichi Tsunoda Ray Byun Ruby Lair Taylor Banfield With more TBA...
