I am a lover of all forms of creative expression, my favorite being Dance.  I originally found West Coast Swing when I was 11 years old, but it wasn’t until I was 22 years old that I absolutely fell in love with it.  Since 2011, I’ve dedicated myself to the art form of WCS and have had some amazing adventures.  Along the way I picked up the nickname “Taz”, originating from the sounds I make while teaching, instead of counting, but some say it means “work that booty“, as I also have an affinity for Hip-Hop and Funky styling.

My joy in life is assisting others discover the freedom and expansiveness that can come from dancing and empowering the dancer from a holistic perspective, so they can be their best selves, on and off the dance floor.
