ABOUT OUR GUESTS | Katie Schneider (She/Her) and Rebecca Savoca (She/Her)
Katie Schneider fell in love with dancing in college and has been teaching West Coast Swing for over 20 years. Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education with a minor in Dance, and she has studied Jazz, Ballet, Modern/Contemporary, Country and Swing. She’s a very experienced teacher and is known for her focus on technique, the lead/follow relationship, and her creative musicality.
Her love for West Coast Swing led her around the world, teaching and performing with friends. In 2014 she started her family and switched her focus to our local WCS community. She teaches weekly group classes at Reverie Ballroom as well as special workshops, and DJ's at various venues in the area.
Rebecca Savoca, known for her elegant and smooth style, has played an active role in the west coast swing community of the Pacific Northwest. She’s an avid competitor, a respected instructor and a supportive community builder.
Dancing since 2006, she’s taught at multiple studios and conventions, teaching beginners to advanced levels. She’s passionate about helping individuals access and embrace their inner rhythm, and connect authentically with one another, regardless of movement experience. She is a firm believer that you are never too old to learn something new, and loves sharing the joy of dancing with others.
You can find Rebecca teaching weekly group classes at Reverie Ballroom, supporting and organizing local events (check out WCS nights at Chihuly Museum) and DJing at dances, big and small.
