Blurb

I started dancing in 1998 when I went to a rockabilly club with no AC, packed with people, and in the Texas heat. I could bearly see the lesson and was sweating all night... and it was awesome! Since then I've gotten a chance to travel all over the US taking workshops, competing, teaching, and meeting really cool people. In Austin, I run weekly classes in Austin at The Lindy Project with Mike Roberts, Laura Glaess. I also founded and run Lone Star Championships with Tena Morales, which is a a party and competition event weekend in Austin, Texas each January.
