Kyle Redd & Sarah Vann Drake - Competitors Intensive Workshop

Not only do we have the amazing talents of Kyle Redd & Sarah Vann Drake for the event weekend but now you can get right down to the nitty gritty and pick the brains of 2 of the most successful dancers in the history of WCS. Kyle and Sarah are 5 time NASDE Champions, hold 11 US Open Titles and are 8 time Grand National Champions. As a partnership, they have been teaching, competing, performing, judging and choreographing all over the world for 12 years. They are the only couple to hold a US Open Swing Dance Championship title in both the “Showcase” and “Classic” Divisions. This innovative couple love what they do and it shows every time they step on the floor. They have performed 24 West Coast Swing Routines all over the world and are constantly driving to evolve style while strengthening technique. Kyle and Sarah are best known for their ability to teach their innovative style while preserving the fundamental roots of West Coast Swing.
