ABOUT OUR GUEST: Marcus Sterling (He/Him)
Marcus Sterling began his dancing journey in 2007 while an undergrad at Oregon State University. Drawn to social dance, he dove headfirst into dances like Night Club 2 Step, Country 2 Step, Hustle, and of course, West Coast Swing. He now teaches in the Portland area, coaching social dancers and competitive students alike. He enjoys helping people increasing not only their practical ability, but their knowledge about the dance as well.
