Hello, my name is Jayne.  I am 63 years old and very late to the dancing world.  I live in North Texas and there are very few places in the area that offer dancing.  I have always had a desire to learn.  I am mesmerized by dancers and I have always wanted to join in the fun.  I never had the opportunity to do so.  In my 40’s, I developed severe arthritis that destroyed my knees and nearly had me wheelchair bound.  Thank God, I found a wonderful surgeon who gave me new knees a couple of years ago and when he asked me what I was hoping for as an outcome to my surgery, my answer was “to be able to dance”. Once I completed my rehab, I began my journey of finding dance venues and dance lessons and found none.  I turned to You Tube and discovered Brian and Megan but, I don’t have a dance partner and even though the videos are excellent, I wanted to learn with a partner.  After a a lot of tenacity and determination, I have found a private dance instructor to work with once a week.  However,  once a week only gets you so far.  You have to practice and that is what led me back to Brian and Megan.  I am relying on the WestCoastSwingonline team to help me learn more, improve faster and build my stamina and confidence.  I look forward to the journey and getting to know the community.
