Jason Henry from
Latrobe, PA now lives in Westminster, MD. He started
2 Step lessons two years ago. 6 months back he
discovered west coast swing which he says is his
favorite. He's normally dancing twice a week. In
between he works as a mechanical engineer and is
completing a masters degree in Business
Administration. Jason enjoys all types of outdoor
activities including rock climbing, playing tennis,
and riding motorcycle. He is also very proud of his
superfast 2004 yellow Mustang Cobra. He takes it
road racing and drag racing. Jason loves to eat
Sushi. |
Tracy Gauthier a MD
native from Silver Spring, now lives in Colombia. She was a
serious figure skater in her teens and then discovered the
Hustle and later Ballroom dancing. She took a long break
from dancing to raise a family then returned to social
dancing a few years ago when she had more free time. West
Coast Swing has become her current dance passion. She has
recently competed in strictly swing and Jack & Jill
contests. Tracy’s youngest daughter Connie is also an active
WCS dancer and competitor. When she is not dancing Tracy
works as an operations Coordinator for the Masters of
Engineering program at Johns Hopkins. She holds a Masters
Degree in Education and can communicate fluently in sign
language. Tracy has traveled, has a motorcycle license and
loves to eat Baskin Robbins Jamoca ice cream. |
