US OPEN SWING DANCE CHAMPIONS
February 29th - March 2nd
Robert and Deborah's partnership, established in late 1997, has produced many impressive wins with phenomenal performances. Their combined teaching styles provide an unusual and refreshing learning experience, both in a private lesson and classroom environment. Robert and Deborah are enthusiastic dancers, and their dance classes are enormously exciting while conveying tremendous technical information and relating their own personal experiences. Robert and Deborah continually average 40 weekends a year traveling both nationally and internationally to spread West Coast Swing. They are among the first pioneers to teach and perform West Coast Swing in Europe and the South Pacific and they have helped get it firmly entrenched in many countries including England, Scotland, New Zealand, and Australia.
A powerful showman on the the swing dance circuit, Robert Cordoba is an inventive professional swing dancer and instructor. A six-time U.S. Open Swing Dance Champion, Robert is a veteran dance competitor, first appearing on the swing dance circuit in 1990. Robert capitalizes on over 20 years of training and performing in Ballroom and Latin and has performed in numerous shows and commercials.
Deborah Szekely (Saykay) uses high energy and power to create a unique and forceful Swing Dance performance. A four-time U.S. Open Swing Dance Champion, Deborah brings the technique and ability accumulated and refined over 25 years of teaching and performing Ballet, Jazz and Tap to Swing. She is also a powerful force to be reckoned with in the Invitational and Strictly Swing categories, continually winning or placing near the top. Deborah brings a phenomenal style and presence to social and competitive West Coast Swing. Deborah's natural creative talents and years of training make her a remarkable instructor with the ability to easily relate the technique for mastering difficult moves and syncopations with ease in group and private lessons.
