Formally trained at the Joffrey Ballet and Carnegie Hall. Scholarship to Theatre Dance. First year of medical school — then she stopped, packed her things, and went to teach line dancing at "Denim and Diamonds" in NYC and waitress to pay rent. In 1995 she discovered WCS. In 2000 she won the US Open. She has never said she regrets the med school decision. 😮 #WestCoastSwing #DeborahSzekely #SwingDance #Origin #Unexpected

When the draw was announced, the room's reaction was audible. When the performance ended, the room's reaction was something else entirely. 😶 #WestCoastSwing #GlennBall #DeborahSzekely #SwingDiego2018 #SwingDance
