It is predominantly a social dancing scence, well known for the slightly crazy social dancers it produces. Chris is a product of that scene, a social dancer with his own unique style. He is a dancer who has spent many hours researching and practicing the fundamentals of swing dancing. Developing his teaching style with dance school Swingcrazy, he brings many of the techniques that have made him a successful dancer to the classes he teaches. Chris strong social dancing background has helped him achieve competition results including 2007 Hullabaloo Jack & Jill 2nd place and 2006 Tokyo Swing Festival Jack & Jill Champion.
