Competition Highlights


W Ben and SHeri Swing Dancing elcome to the home of Ben and Sheri Yau. We are swing dance teachers based in Pasadena, California (Los Angeles County).

Since meeting in 1999, Ben and Sheri have danced, taught, and competed around the world. Known for their creative dancing and innovative choreography, Ben and Sheri consistently receive top placements in national and international competitions. They are especially proud of their 2005 National Jitterbug Championships "Golden Budgie" Award, an award given out annually to the person or couple best exhibiting the true spirit of Jitterbug. It is with this spirit Ben and Sheri bring their unique brand of energy, humor, and positive attitude to their classes and to the swing dance community.

They are also directors of the
One2Swing Jitterbugs!!

They're looking forward to seeing you on the dance floor!
