About Christopher S. Rupp — West Coast Swing Pro (Winter Garden / Orlando, FL)
Background & Teaching
Christopher S. Rupp is a West Coast Swing professional based in the Orlando/Winter Garden market and a co-organizer of WOW — West Orlando Westies, one of Central Florida’s most consistent weekly WCS programs. He’s known for crisp technique, musicality, and beginner-to-improver progressions that quickly build confidence on the social floor. Chris’s classes emphasize connection, timing, and conversation in the dance; his clear drills and practical combinations translate directly to better socials the same night. At WOW he curates a class-then-social format, regularly collaborates with guest pros and DJs, and keeps the culture welcoming for first-timers while challenging experienced dancers.
His background includes:
Co-founding and organizing WOW Tuesdays in Winter Garden (leveled classes followed by a social).
Teaching and coaching across Central Florida with a focus on social-first technique and musical interpretation.
Producing class series and pop-up workshops that bring All-Star/Champion guest artists to the local scene.
Performances & Events
Leads the weekly WOW program (instruction + social) and special theme nights featuring mixers, steal-circles, and performance spotlights.
Frequent instructor/host for workshops and collaboration nights with Orlando studios and community groups.
Featured in reels and media teaching, demoing, and performing West Coast Swing to grow the regional scene.
Community Involvement in Orlando
Chris is a hands-on community builder: he mentors new dancers through clear on-ramps, supports local DJs and instructors through cross-promotion, and champions an inclusive floor culture. His events consistently connect newcomers with the broader Orlando WCS ecosystem—strengthening attendance, raising skill levels, and keeping the scene vibrant.
