International West Coast Swing Rally 2019

Julio and Lola watched us perform in Nevada City, CA. They are in almost every shot! Heehee.

Every year Virginie & Olivier Massart from France create a west coast swing dance routine. Dancers around the world learn it and everyone performs it in September and posts their version online. FUN!!!

We danced at our historic Chamber of Commerce court, in front of the vintage Court House, in front of historic Miners Foundry, and at our Salsa Sierra dance studio.
This year’s dancers are Phil Storey, Carie Dykes, Petra Maher, Sammi Bell, Valentyna Lane, Leon Fletcher, and Lucy Galbraith.

We were at the West Coast Swing Rally in Sacramento

We watched Mom and Dad dance the whole morning. The first location was at the River Walk next to Tower Bridge.
Crossing the bridge with our friends Valentyna and Sammi
Then a long walk to the Capital.
We’re doing our “Regal Pose” at the Capital.
Dancing away at the Capital. Salsa Sierra and Spotlight Dance.

Every year a dance routine is learned online. Then on the first Saturday in September everyone around the world dances and submits a video to the facebook group. It’s fun to see the same routine performed in Japan, Germany, Australia, etc etc etc.
And it’s a very fun thing to do!

Most of the gang at the IMAX
Then the long walk back to the car!
Almost there………to the car! Sure was windy!!
