Yuna Davtyan is one of the top "All Star" division dancers in the Northeast.  I know, because I've danced with her.  She has risen through the ranks during the last decade to be one of top firecrackers in the West Coast Swing circuit.

Saturday's workshops will begin with Yuna's special "Spins & Drills" workshop to keep everyone sharp in one of dance's most coveted movements.  Her second and third workshops will focus on intermediate footwork and movement which will be challenging (yet attainable) for all West Coast Swing dancers.  Yuna's final workshop will be a "Crash Course" for all newcomers and anyone who wants to downshift to upgrade their basics (which is recommended by all serious professionals).

The evening will conclude with a great West Coast Swing mix dance....Yuna's favorite tunes will be played...so come out and party!

WCS - Yuna's Fancy Footwork
Level: Beg/Int

Taking your dance to the next level is always the goal.  One of the most traditional and attainable ways to embellish your dance either as a leader or as a follower is to make footwork more creative.  Yuna will give you some fancy footwork to keep your body (and your brain) busy.  It will also give you that advanced look for almost any pattern.

* Requirements: Participants must have working knowledge of their WCS basics and understand the names and counts of all the basics.  Entry is subject to the discretion of the instructor.  Please review Dance Etiquette Tip #8.

Who is Yuna Davtyan:

She learned ballet as a little girl in Russia and honed her ballroom skills as a young woman in the United States. She discovered West Coast Swing seven years ago and threw herself into an intense time of learning and training under the best pros. She worked her way from Newcomer through Advanced to AllStar, not allowing herself any shortcuts or advantages, and has been placing as an All Star finalist ever since. These days, Yuna is greatly sought after on the westie social floor, as a Jack & Jill and Strictly Swing partner and as a national Rising Star competitor. For the last five years, she has been a top pro teaching assistant, developing an intuitive eye and excellent diagnostic skills. More recently, she has discovered her own role of discerning coach and popular teacher. Her teaching manner is easy and fun...she'll tell you like it is, but in an encouraging and supportive way. She is a delight to learn from, caring and committed to her students. Bottom line, she gets results!
