Acknowledgements

The West Coast Swing community is full of wonderful enthusiastic and helpful dancers. We get to say thank you to a bunch of people who have supported us in putting together SwitchOn Northwest and SwitchOn Seattle.

Our first acknowledgements are to SwitchXperience Paris and SwitchXperience Berlin for the amazing set of ideas they have generated and shared.

Thank you Hélène Mi!

Our next set of acknowledgements are to the instructors who have offered switch workshops at some of the WCS conventions we have been to. Thank you Samantha Buckwalter, Mahala Fedor, Phoenix Grey and Lia Brown.
