Hi! My name is Yana, I'm a Russian-born dancer from Saint Petersburg, Russia currently residing in San Diego, California.

After coming to the United States I discovered and fell in love with the world of Brazilian Zouk.

People love to dance, and we love to teach." Dirt Road Dancing was founded upon cultivating the knowledge of dance through, curiosity, empowerment, and passion. Troy and Elise have a combined 17 years experience and have been sharing their love of swing with the Treasure Valley together for 7 years. Elise tested out her first dance floor at the University of Idaho where she discovered her unrealized potential and a burning desire to dance. In 2009, Elise met Troy. Although he knew very little about country swing, he was willing to take a risk and discovered a new found talent for country dancing. They love converting classic country dance styles into a faster modern edge swing and believe creativity is key to a great dance.

Hello Edge Dancers! I am a WSDC Advanced level dancer and have been dancing West Coast Swing for over 3 years and competing for 2 years. I’ve worked with various Champion West Coast Swing Dancers including: Michael and Amber Cross, Robert Royston, Kyle, and Sarah Redd. Now I exclusively train under WSDC & UCWDC Hall of Fame Inductee, Laureen Baldovi, and WSDC All Star Jung Won Choe.

I am proud to be the Co-Owner/Creator of the White Rabbit Society WCS in Phoenix, AZ. My first partner dance was Country Swing. I picked up CS in the Country Bars of The Phoenix Area, over a 3 year juncture. Then one night I saw a couple dancing West Coast Swing, and the rest was history. My first dance/love, and one I’ve been doing for over 20+ years, is Hip Hop. I’ve done many different styles of Hip Hop including: Freestyle, Club, Choreo, Crew, Battle, and Krump. My lifelong influences are: Michael Jackson, Usher, Chris Brown, and Ceasare “Tight Eyez” Willis. I heavily infuse my past Hip Hop into my current West Coast Swing dance today.

Additionally, I have been teaching West Coast Swing for the past year and focus on Country Dancers trying to make the transition to West Coast Swing: I have been blessed to teach for: Desert City Swing, Country Nomads, Nomads Winter Convention, and of course The White Rabbit Society.

We are proud and excited to announce that we are bringing on Christian “DJ Keahi” Summerfruit as an EDGE partner to help us put on an amazing event in 2022!

Christian has been a big supporter of The Edge since the first Event in 2020. You may recognize Christian as a DJ who played critical roles in the success of the 2021 event, including helping set up and maintain audio systems. Christian was also the 3rd place winner for The Edge 2021 Country Swing competition.

Christian is super excited to be partnering with us to put on The Edge 2022 to bring about an amazing experience for dancers, instructors, performers, artists, and spectators alike. Having assisted Philip (“BootScootin”) Victor during the stay-at-home order in bringing dancing to San Diego County and having created a lot of great relationships with the Southern California Country Dance Community. Christian says the thing he looks forward to the most is "being able to help put on The Edge 2022 and bring new dancers into the community as well as help dancers of all levels find new styles or new tricks to keep them passionate about dancing." Additionally, he is excited to help grow the dance community grow stronger and more unified.

Philip Victor is the calves behind the BootScootin' movement.  This long-time emcee & performer from FL stumbled upon line dancing a few years back in SD, at a time when he didn't really care for country music and as it turns out, was pretty bad at figuring out line dancing (his words). But those humble beginnings didn't stop him from pursuing what is now one of his greatest joys (...the others being improv comedy & working with kids), and as it turns out: enjoying country music.  

Philip is truly grateful for the many opportunities he has had across the US & Canada to teach tens of thousands of people how to line dance, incl many festivals, bars, workshops, corporate events, & Boardwalk dance sessions.  His advice to beginners: "stick with it, don't be too hard on yourself, sing along while you dance, & don't forget some upper body choreo."    He sends love out to his SD Dance Family, his good buddy, Keahi, all of the enthusiastic followers of the BootScootin channel, & every person who he has ordered/persuaded/dragged out onto the dance floor to try a dance.  Yip Yip YEEHAW!!!   #DanceIsLife
