LATEST DANCE TIP:

Using the Centering Knob is raising the level of dancers performances from coast to coast.  BIG hit at Phoenix & again at Portland!

LATEST Question from Competition Performer: Can Body Flight be achieved without Rolling Count?

NO it can't.  Someone can HAVE Body Flight without knowing they are doing Rolling Count - but any astute observer

will be able to SEE it.

Golden State Dance Teachers Association (GSDTA) is the largest and longest running Dance Teachers Organization, particularly when it comes to WEST COAST SWING. For the past 50 years, much of the evolution, development & innovation of this dance has come from the efforts of Skippy Blair and other Professional Members of GSDTA. Check the section on "WEST COAST SWING."

You'll find such innovations as: Rolling Count - Centering Knob - Center Point of Balance (CPB) - 3-Toe Base - Flash-Lighting - Single Tracking - Power Point - and more.  "Skippy Blair's Dance Dynamics(R)" continues to grow in leaps and bounds (after 50 years of development).

We are particularly proud of hearing how FAST the system produces results.  GSDTA wants to publicly thank Jordan Frisbee & Tatiana Mollmann for all the recent Kudos we are receiving about the Unit System(R) and our Dance Dynamics(R) program.  Their teaching & performing abilities have created excitement all over the world,
