This will also be the perfect time to give this magical dance a try. Paul and Marta are passionate about introducing West Coast Swing to brand new dancers; it’s their specialty! See what all the fuss is about and why we love West Coast Swing so much! Intermediate dancers are encouraged to join to refresh and refine their basics and gain a fresh perspective!

BIOS:
Paul and Marta Canfield are the owners of Canfield Dance Arts and have been active members of the West Coast Swing community since 1998. They began teaching West Coast Swing shortly after starting their own dance journeys and first met—by chance—when they drew each other’s names in a Jack and Jill competition. Based for many years in the Finger Lakes region of New York, they owned and operated a dance studio, directed a JT Swing Team for multiple seasons, and traveled nationally to teach and compete at West Coast Swing events. Two years ago, they relocated to the Charlotte, NC area. They are proud of their involvement in the Newcomer Tracks at Charlotte Westie Fest, Carolina Summer Swing, and Trilogy Swing dance events in the Carolinas throughout the year, and they are especially passionate about teaching brand-new dancers and welcoming them into the West Coast Swing community. They also have two young sons who are now becoming part of the WCS community themselves and beginning their own dance journeys.
