GSDTA Info LISTED BELOW

Golden State Dance Teachers Association (GSDTA) is the largest and longest running Dance Teachers Organization, particularly when it comes to WEST COAST SWING. For the past 50 years, much of the evolution, development & innovation of this dance has come from the efforts of Skippy Blair and other Professional Members of GSDTA. Check the section on "WEST COAST SWING."

Such innovations as: Rolling Count - Centering Knob - Center Point of Balance (CPB) - 3-Toe Base - Flash Lighting - Single Tracking - Power Point - & more.  "Skippy Blair's Dance Dynamics" program continues  it's popularity for creating top flight teachers & dancers , after 50 years of continuous development, growth and certification training.

We are particularly proud of hearing how FAST the system produces results.  GSDTA wants to publicly thank Jordan Frisbee & Tatiana Mollmann for all the recent Kudos we are receiving about the Unit System(R) and our Dance Dynamics(R) program, from all over the world.  Their teaching & incomparable performing abilities have created excitement everywhere they appear.

Pressing the Centering Knob back is raising the level of dancers performances from coast to coast.  BIG hit at Phoenix, Portland, Hawaii,
and Miami in 2008!

Question from Competition Performer:
Can Body Flight be achieved without
Rolling Count?

Answer: NO it can't. 
Someone can HAVE Body Flight without being aware that they are dancing Rolling Count - but any astute observer

will be able to SEE it.
