He has been teaching all over the United Kingdom for the last 10 years as well as competing in West Coast Swing in the United States of America. He is qualified as a Latin Professional through the B.A.T.D and found his training gave him all the styling and technique he needed to begin teaching successfully. He came second in last years UK West Coast Swing Championships and works tirelessly throughout the UK and Europe to promote this fabulous dance. Chelsea is a relative newcomer to West Coast Swing but has developed a show stopping style and charisma that everyone wants to emulate. Her movement can be flashy and funky or smooth and sultry. Every dance with Chelsea is a journey into the heart and soul of whatever music is playing and will leave you wanting more. Graham and Chelsea have just won the UK West Coast Swing Championships (Classic Division) with their showcase "Mercy" routine. They are well known across the UK for their fun and friendly workshops and classes and are a regular feature at many weekenders.

Brady first came across WCS while at university in the US, where he got a short taster class and immediately loved the dance. Brady started his WCS teachers training with Skippy Blair (Jordan & Tatiana's original coach/teacher) in the summer of 2005. He has ta ught classes and workshops in Scotland, England, Spain, and the US. Susan, a trained ballet dancer was introduced to WCS by her fiancé Brady and has been loving the dance ever since. She has attended two teacher training courses with Skippy Blair and taught various workshops and classes throughout the UK and the US. Susan has also attended and competed in various US WCS conventions enjoying a string of top placements.
