Jordan Frisbee and Larisa Tingle clinched first place at the Phoenix 4th of July 2018 dance convention.

Many people never get the chance to watch a couple dancing to the famous West Coast Dance. It is a lovely dance, which guarantees to leave you lost for words!

Around 1937, a dance was born in the West Coast, United States, and was named the West Coast Dance, and grew in popularity from then. The dance was started by Dean Collins, who was a dancer and also worked as a choreography instructor. He was both a teacher and a dancer of the new dance. In the '40s and '50s, the swing dance grew in popularity on the west coast.

What many people love about this dance is its provision for dancers to come up with their moves. The partners take up dance moves that resemble compression and extension, making it look like pulling an elastic band. The dance has made its way into some famous music genres like Jazz and Blues. Due to this relevance, the dance has lived to the present. In the present, several competitions involve the west coast swing dancers. Many dancers and teachers still promote it.

The two dancers usually have different dance partners on ordinary occasions. Still, they paired up during a Phoenix Championship, and to the approval of many, were able to scoop the first prize.

In a video doing rounds, the pair dances together, making flawless moves, where they can smoothly switch from one dance move to the other. It is brilliant and leaves all viewers in love.

According to their website, Jordan Frisbee hails from Los Angeles, California, and got into dancing at the young age of eleven. How he got into dancing is an adorable story, since a young girl inquired on his ability to do the West Coast Dance, and she became his first-ever dance partner. Jordan went to school, and specialized in Business and Entrepreneurship, though his studies never took away his love for the dance. Through his career, he has had Jessica Cox as a partner for three years, and later met up with Tatiana Mollmann, with whom they danced since 2000.

However, Tingle did not start her love of art as a dancer but was a violinist, and later crossed over to dancing. She started a dance school and even had a dancing partner called Tony, with whom they have competed in various championships. Her school has weekly classes for all levels of dancers, from starters to professionals.

The two dancers have deep experience in the west coast swing. Throughout the performance, it is easy to witness their high levels of experience, and they have stolen the hearts of their online audience, as well as the live audience.

Many people have left comments behind on the video, with one viewer commenting, “Such a natural pair! So fun to watch, thank you.” Another viewer was equally pleased and said, “Love watching them dance. They performed a creative and syncopated routine. Excellent work!”

Another exciting fact picked by the viewers was the close resemblance between Jordan’s shoes and Larisa’s hair. Most of them confessed that it was hard for them to take their eyes off Jordan’s shoes. Jordan must have been a big show of confidence in his footwork by wearing eye-catching bright shoes.

The pair makes some well-done moves, and watching the video makes one want to jump and try out some of the routine steps! Dancing is one of the most exciting forms of art if articulated well. The dancing pair looked so natural in their moves, something most dancers struggle to do.

We hope you fall in love with the video and don’t forget to show this to your friends!
