Heidi's still my fave in West Coast Swing

I just took an advanced West Coast Swing workshop with Heidi Groskreutz and Heidi's still my favorite lady West Coast swinger.  I haven't seen Heidi for a while and her technique is top notch, she is using her feet even more than before.  She is very musical and her ballroom training has served her well in her very fluid and sexy slinky way of moving.  On top of that, a down to earth person and a very good instructor.

Here's a video of Heidi and her cousin Benji Schwimmer performing their 2005 US Open Swing Dance winning routine ... in 2007.  Much tighter and slicker, more fire than when they competed with this same routine in 2005

2007 Heidi and Benji West Coast Swing

2005 Heidia and Benji's winning routine at the Showcase Division the US Open Swing Dance Championship before competing in Season 2 of "So You Think You Can Dance" in 2006. 

Heidi came to the public eye with 4th place at "So you think you can dance" Season 2, 2006.  I loved her fire and spunk and fluid movement.  Heidi came 4th and her cousin and partner Benji Schwimmer won that year (his dad is the famous Buddy Schwimmer who invented NightClub Two Step and is hugely responsible for teaching millions of people West Coast Swing).
