Keith Stremmel started dancing in the country scene back in 1999. Initially he concentrated on Country Two-step, East Coast Swing, Cha-cha, and line dancing. Keith didn’t think much of West Coast Swing until about two years later. Attending a major dance event, he was inspired with what could be done at the higher levels of West Coast Swing. With that event, and slowly more events to come, it fueled his interest of wanting more dance, and he took a greater interest in West Coast Swing. Additionally, he found himself trying, liking, and learning, Argentine Tango, Rumba, Salsa, three-count Hustle, and Nightclub Two-step. With his skills and passion for dance growing over the years, Keith also discovered how rewarding it is to help people learn and grow in dance. In late 2006 Keith started teaching weekly classes and private lessons of West Coast Swing and Hustle, in Red Lion, PA. Later the classes spread to York and Lancaster, PA, Baltimore, MD, and Washington DC. While traveling in New Zealand in 2007, he was invited, and had the honor, to teach a group class in the growing dance community in Hamilton, NZ. In 2007 Jayne Parks and Keith choreographed a Hustle routine and had fun performing it for the public. The year 2008 became just as exciting and rewarding when Keith partnered with Lara Deni and choreographed a successful West Coast Swing routine. They traveled the United States and competed at many major dance events through the middle of 2009. Keith is currently striving to develop a stronger West Coast Swing and Hustle community in the Lancaster and York counties of PA. So come out to some of his events and dances to say Hi and enjoy the growing dance community. Checkout the “Classes and Events” page to find the fun and excitement. Dance Competition Accomplishments
