The Intermediate Lesson will be taught by visiting West Coast Swing Champion, Sonya Dessureault!
Sonya began her career when she went to school for modern dance in her hometown of Montreal, Quebec. Afterwards, she worked professionally as a salsa and latin street dance teacher. It was at a salsa congress that she discovered west coast swing through a crossover performance. Sonya loved the freedom of expression and knew she had found her dance. With her trademark intensity, she trained and quickly moved up the ranks. She took a risk, left everything she had in Montreal and went to Europe. She began by teaching at a west coast swing event and from there was invited to teach all over the continent. She has since taught, judged, competed, and performed in over twenty-five countries, and is happy to be back in Canada to help grow the community. Sonya believes all great dancing comes from learning to understand and then finding the freedom in what you know. She’s known for her fierce commitment to personal growth in herself and others, both on the floor and off.
