A Love Letter to West Coast Swing

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I want to dance and fight bigotry with you.

Hey change-makers & dance lovers!

Your girl finally has a website! 🎉

Remember those childhood Valentine's cards we'd shuffle through, hoping for the good ones with the candy? Well, consider this website launch my grown-up Valentine to you but except instead of promising friendship and sharing juice boxes, I'm inviting you to join a movement where dance meets revolutionary change. (Though I wouldn't say no to a juice box. Ask me about the story of my Franzia Box Wine Night.)

What's Coming:

  • Updates from me as I’m transitioning off Meta

  • Professional insights on building inclusive dance communities

  • Resources for dance organizers and community leaders

  • Professional development meets dance wisdom

  • A membership space for deeper community building (coming soon!)

  • Free tools to transform your dance spaces

As the only dedicated community development educator in West Coast Swing (yeah, we're gonna talk about that too), I'm here to bridge the gap between professional leadership and dance community building. Whether you know me from education, dance competitions, or that one time I went on a passionate rant about dance event dress codes, this space is where all those worlds collide.

This platform is for every dancer who's ever:

  • Wondered how to make their dance community more welcoming

  • Felt like they had to choose between authenticity and fitting in

  • Wanted to level up their leadership skills

  • Dreamed of creating real change in the dance world

  • Been told "that's just how things are" (spoiler: they don't have to be)

Ready to dance outside the lines with me? Here's how to stay connected:

  • Subscribe to my newsletter for more insights

  • Follow me on Bluesky

  • Check back for new resources and blog posts

  • Keep an eye out for membership community launch!

With love & revolution,

Rassamy
