"Uh-One...Uh-Two...Uh-You Know What To Do!"
- Frankie Manning, 1914 - 2009
I began dancing as an undergraduate at Virginia Tech back in 2006. Since then, swing dancing has become a major part of my life, and I have traveled all over the world dancing, competing, and DJing. I dance Lindy Hop, Balboa, Blues, and Charleston. Below is a list of some of my dance awards as well as some video playlists of me dancing at various events and competitions.
