Dee is the regular teacher at the Why Not Club, where she teaches a beginners class. She has been dancing West Coast Swing since 2006, and progressed into teaching in 2008.   Dee is hoping to start an Edinburgh University West Coast Swing Society, bringing interest from the student community. In addition to teaching you will also find Dee acting as venue manager at the Merlin.

Neil started modern jive in 2005, and West Coast swing in 2006. He also has experience in Salsa, Ballroom and Argentine Tango. He has been placed in a variety of West Coast Swing competitions in the USA. These include UCWDC Worlds, Summer Hummer in Boston, Rebel Swing in Minneapolis, Music City Dance in Nashville, Orlando Dance Challenge, and the Big Apple Dance Festival in New York.

Jennie and Howie started dancing West Coast Swing in 2005. They instantly loved the challenge of learning to dance, and enjoyed the social side of the dance scene. They progressed very quickly, and won the "Most improved couple" award in 2006! They now act as fill-in teachers at both venues, and are always on hand to help beginners.
