Michael Kielbasa & Brandy Richey Showcase June 2012 Windsor UK

Michael Kielbasa's West Coast Swing UK workshop weekend 15-17 June 2012. Michael has been dancing for 20 years in Ballroom, Latin, Swing, Country and Salsa. He lives in San Diego where he teaches out of Starlight Dance Studio. For the past 7 years he has been competing and teaching professionally all around the United States and the world. Michael is dedicated to the growth of all dance styles and its recognition as a sport and exciting activity for everyone to enjoy. Brandy Richey started dancing at age 15, training in International as well as American Ballroom and Latin. Shortly thereafter she realized that dance was more than a hobby, it was a passion, motivated to learn all styles of partner dancing. She studied and trained with world renowned champions and began teaching by the age of 17. Soon after, she ventured into Country Western competing in Division 1 and ranking 4th in the world. After that her love for performing led her to the Salsa community, where she brought her knowledge of other dance styles. In 2002 Brandy and her dance partner started and organized the first Salsa dance company in Phoenix Arizona. The Company has since traveled across the US teaching, performing, and competing. It was at a Salsa/West Coast Swing convention that she found herself dancing more Swing and realized she found another amazing dance. She now mainly dances West Coast Swing, residing in San Diego, California where she teaches and competes.
