Thomas Carter started ballroom dancing in his freshman year of college. After competing in ballroom dancing for a few years at the collegiate level, one of his classmates showed him a video of west coast swing, and the rest is history. What made Thomas gravitate towards west coast swing was the variety of music, the complexity, and the endless ways to interpret the music with your partner. Thomas has danced West Coast Swing for over 10 years and competes nationally at the Champion/ All-Star Level since 2015.
