=0D=0A=✨ About our Teachers
=0D=0A=Brianne loves her teaching and dancing life! She has been line dancing for 18 years and is a Top 3 World Champion with experience in all genres of dance. The challenge of West Coast Swing intrigues Brianne and has drawn her into elevating her ability in both lead and follow roles. Brianne currently teaches line dance and West Coast Swing at Sara Raymond Dance Academy on Sundays.
=0D=0A=Hillary has been diving into West Coast Swing since 2022, volunteering on the Board of the BC Swing Dance Club for 2 years before moving to the Island. Stepping into teaching West Coast Swing, Hillary draws from her earliest lessons with Zoltan and Yuka, years of weekly practice and fun at RX Vancouver, the experience of transferring her dance knowledge as a follow to dancing as a lead, and a love of welcoming new dancers to the community.
