Things You Never Noticed Before In Downton Abbey🧐

35 years of dance training. Over 60 styles. Ballroom, Latin, swing, hip hop, country, international forms most WCS dancers have never heard of. Myles Munroe was asked, in a 2021 interview, which one surprised him most — which dance form showed him something he hadn't expected from movement. His answer was not West Coast Swing. It was something he studied long before WCS became his primary focus. 🤔 #WestCoastSwing #MylesMunroe #SwingLiteracy #SwingDance #DancePhilosophy

Six UCWDC World Championship titles. 35 years of training in over 60 different dance styles. CrossFit instructor. One of the most respected chief judges in WCS. And on his body: a tattoo that reads "Technique prevents the body from limiting the soul's expression." He got it because he kept trying to explain his teaching philosophy in words — and that sentence was the only one that got it right. 🎨 #WestCoastSwing #MylesMunroe #SwingLiteracy #SwingDance #Philosophy

Bachelor of Kinesiology from UBC. National Coaching Certification. An Olympic-track competitive swimming coaching career that was already underway. And simultaneously: Premier League soccer referee, part of an elite program training officials for the FIFA Women's World Cup. Then she found West Coast Swing — and went back to school to get a second degree. She has since used both of them to build something that has changed how WCS is taught worldwide. 😮 #WestCoastSwing #TessaCunningham #SwingLiteracy #SwingDance #Origin

West Coast Swing Was Danced in Hollywood Films Decades Before Anyone Called It "West Coast Swing." Dean Collins Brought It From Harlem. Nobody Gave Him Credit Until Decades Later.

The WCS Competitive Circuit Has Only One Rule That Has Never Changed in 45 Years. Every Other Rule Has Been Revised, Debated, or Abandoned. This One Has Not.

2am. Myles Munroe and Tessa Cunningham are at a WCS event across the country from their student — in bed, in pajamas, at a dance weekend that ran late. Their student called because they had a teaching challenge the next morning and didn't know how to solve it. Myles and Tessa answered. They stayed on the call until the student had what they needed. This is apparently not unusual for them. 🥹 #WestCoastSwing #MylesMunroe #TessaCunningham #SwingLiteracy #Teaching

40+ weekends a year, for over 20 consecutive years. That's the competitive calendar Myles Munroe and Tessa Cunningham Munroe have maintained since 2002. Their daughter grew up on airplanes, in hotel ballrooms, in the specific permanent-temporary community of the WCS circuit. She has been to more countries than most adults. She did not choose this life. She was born into it. 🌍 #WestCoastSwing #MylesTessa #SwingLiteracy #SwingDance #DanceFamily
