The space Instructors

Elizabeth was raised in Seattle and moved to Bend in 2018. She’s been dancing since middle school: Irish, Ballet, Jazz, Tap, and now West Coast Swing. She loves spending time outdoors with her dogs and bringing her passion for dance to Central Oregon! Elizabeth and James travel to WCS conventions to grow as dancers and expand the community. She's excited to teach dancers of all skill levels how to grow in technique and in their own personal style.

Olivia started partner dancing in 2005 when she took her first Ballroom class at Chico State, followed by Lindy Hop and Blues. She fell in love with WCS in 2007.  Over the next 5 years Olivia danced and attended events as much as she could and started teaching WCS.  She competed her way up to the All-Star division.  In 2010, Olivia partnered with Ben McHenry and debuted a Classic routine at the US Open.

Olivia’s favorite things about WCS are using movement to express musicality and being able to create a new dance with each new partner.

 Lindsey has been a ZIN™ Member/Zumba Instructor in Bend Oregon since Sep 2008 and absolutely loves teaching Zumba classes. The reason is simple: the variety of music and dance styles that Zumba embodies, creates a party atmosphere that swirls throughout the room and brings people together. Lindsey has been committed to building a supportive Zumba community for over 10 years. Dancing together is a joy to experience and to share with others.  This is what feeds her soul.
