My favorite west coast swing dancer is Benji Schwimmer. Benji was crowned "America's Favorite Dancer" during Season 2 of So You Think You Can Dance. Since then, he has traveled the world teaching, performing, and choreographing in many different styles of dance. He is a dancer in great demand and he has expanded his resume to include acting. He was in 2 movies Love 'N Dancing, Leading Ladies and choreographed at least 2 music videos Christina Aguilera's Candyman, LeAnn Rimes' Swingin.
Though he is constantly traveling, he still does compete in Swing. I enjoy watching him dance and I hope one day I can see him live. I think you'll enjoy watching him too.
