Hi! My name is Kayla Sloan. At the age of 20 I began my ballroom teaching career in Hendersonville, TN. I remember working with one of my first coaches, and when I told her my age she said “Wow! That’s really OLD to get started. But good for you I guess.” (Insert laughing emoji)

My passion for teaching adults to dance was fueled in that moment. I didn’t come from a household where kids were afforded extra curricular activities, so I was personally relying on adulthood to bring me new experiences. I never wanted to be told or tell someone they can’t learn something new because of their age. Teaching adults partnership dance has been my leading passion for past 17 years.

In 2016, I took my desire to help adults find confidence on the dance floor…into the Wedding Industry. I can honestly say I was surprised by the sense of joy this side of teaching brings me. I love helping couples create the dance of their dreams, no matter how simple or extravagant. And my favorite part is the parent dances. Watching parents spend time with their adult children while learning something new together is a unique experience to witness.

That same year I also discovered my favorite social dance… West Coast Swing. I could spend pages writing about the joys, challenges and diversity this dance brings. Instead, I will keep it short and sneaky and tell you… I will ALWAYS be teaching West Coast Swing somewhere, so check out the Group Class page to see where a class is happening near you. Come experience for yourself what makes WCS so special!

I look forward to meeting you on the dance floor soon!
