Montreal gets ready for Jordan Frisbee & Tatiana Mollmann

Estelle Bonnaire and Ewan Dupré created this fantastic video in anticipation of the arrival of Jordan Frisbee and Tatiana Mollmann to Montreal in October 2012.  It is both a tribute to Jordan and Tatiana as well as a promotion of the West Coast Swing scene in Montreal.  Amateur Montreal dancers perform the couple's famous "Pump It" routine in a variety of the city's landmark sites.

Congratulations to all the dancers :)

One of the most beautiful things about being a dance teacher it the process of continuous learning and teaching what we learn. This is probably the best job in earth. The social life is amazing. Always surrounded by wonderful people. The gratification of sharing all this wonderful moments in person and in video is beyond believe. Thank you students and dance partner for making dancing such a lovely activity.

West Coast Swing Practices at Dance Conmigo

West Coast Swing Dance Practices take place every Tuesday 8:30-10:30PM at Dance Conmigo. Open to everyone curious or interested in WCS.

I can not say with certainty if the WCS practice started on 2008 or 2009. This was not important because WCS was totally unknown in Montreal. There were a few ardent promoters but there was no venue or structure of classes nor consistency.

During the first and second year, there were many practices nights with only 2 attendants, then 4, then 6 and so on. At few occasion we were considering giving up, but some ardent enthusiasts (Bonnie Mak among others) insisted to give it more time.

Eventually, there were more than 10 regular dancers coming every Tuesday. At that moment , we began to feel that we had turned the corner and that there was a potential to  have a regular WCS dance practice in Montreal every Tuesday night.

Thank you Montreal WCS dancers for making this evening such a pleasant event.

Happy Birth Day Dominique!!!

In our WCS community at Dance Conmigo, we celebrate a person's birth day by doing a westy circle. The DJ (Cheryl Williams) put a song and every one tries to get a dance withe the birthday person. We wish you many more years of dancing Dominque

When we are a dancer, we have an alternative life, a life where we share moments of joy, for laughter, of intimacy; a life in which we forget our worries and for short periods of time, we can be just happy. When we become dancers, we  take the conscious decision to be happy and worry free for three minutes at a time.

Happy Birth day Sebastien (Feb. 2012)

This was a Birth day jam dedicated to our dear WCS dancer Sebastien. Thank you for coming and celebration your birth day with us.
