I started dancing when I was about 5. My father always brought out his 45s and would play them until very late. I enjoyed it a lot but I was so young I couldn't stay awake. Break dancing was really my first dance that I took on. My Uncle Keith would take me to our neighbor's house and we would dance for them. We would do the latest dances called Popping, Locking, and the famous Robot!
I then became more serious about my dancing when I saw Michael Jackson perform live on American Bandstand. My Aunt Patricia is a good dancer and did all the latest dances, so she would teach me and I would dance at school and impress all the girls. That’s when I noticed that I had something over the jocks.
When I was eighteen a friend of mine, Tina Miles, taught me the basic step to country 2-Step and took me out to a country club. I then noticed a lot of guys were dancing around the floor and the girls were smiling really big. That's when I decided that I wanted to dance. I was on a mission to get all the girls to dance with me and to be the best on the floor. So I studied all the dancers and picked up all their moves until there was nothing new that I saw.
I met three girls who wanted to learn and one of them introduced me to West Coast Swing and I went to a lesson at a man's house named John Swartz. I picked it up and joined the Tulsa Swing Club. I went through all the group classes in a very short time and then I met Darren Cagle. While still doing country and winning local bar contests, I became more serious with West Coast Swing. Darren took me under his wing in both dances. I got the chance to compete with his girlfriend at that time named Margo Goodall, who was quite lovely.
I also met a man named Doug Moriss who was a champion already. He and his partner at the time were the 1st people to teach me about syncopation. What an awesome experience! I entered my first West Coast Swing contest in 1986 in a J&J contest at our club and then in 1988 after putting a routine together with the help of my friend Skip Teel and dancing with his girlfriend as my partner, We won our first time out and it felt good because I did most of the choreography myself. |
