Is this you?
You’re a passionate West Coast Swing dancer who wants to feel "on fire" during every dance, but maybe right now you:
Feel like everybody else has their own unique style and voice, and you’ll forever be stuck dancing “vanilla”
Spend hours practicing drills only to compare yourself to others and wonder where you’re going wrong and why you’re not improving as quickly
Wonder how to translate the creative ideas in your head into actual movements without messing up the technique
Wish you could move beyond the basics and improvise with ease- without losing the connection with your partner
Long to have more confidence on the social or competitive floor so you can place more often; wow the crowd and unleash the potential that deep down you know you have
And maybe you're also...
Diligently taking weekly classes and even traveling to events only to return home wishing you had personalized feedback as you practiced
Investing heavily in private lessons that aren’t getting you results as fast as you’d like
Or maybe you're struggling with how to practice more, you're already balancing other life and work committments…
If any of this resonates...
you're in the right place!
IF WE HAVEN'T MET YET,
I'm Tashina
Just like you, I'm super-passionate about West Coast Swing. In fact, my improvisation dance videos have been viewed by millions of people worldwide!
I’m an Internationally recognized, leading West Coast Swing Champion, Master-instructor, judge, performer, trained Solo dancer, as well as a Confidence and Success coach for social and competitive partner dancers.
I started dancing when I was 2.5 years old and I’ve never looked back.
I’ve traveled the globe performing, teaching, and judging in over 17 countries.
Since 2012, I have specialized in helping West Coast Swing dancers master their technique, develop their unique voice as a dancer, and overcome imposter syndrome so they can accelerate their progress and have unwavering confidence in their dancing.
With more than three decades of experience on the dance floor, I’ve personally guided hundreds of West Coast Swing dancers to unlock their full potential through my Magnetic Movement Method.
This method was born after having countless conversations with students at 150+ events across the world.
I realized so many passionate novice and even advanced dancers were challenged with loving their movement, feeling lost and unsure how to improve, whilst feeling like they were the only person struggling with various aspects of the West Coast Swing experience.
The Magnetic Movement Method helps to collapse the timeframes for passionate dancers to unlock more success, joy and fulfillment in their West Coast Swing dancing.
The thing is, there are 5 main elements every WCS dancer must utilize in order to reach their goals with ease and efficiency, but most instructors, coaches and judges out there only address 2, maybe 3 at best.
Many aren't even aware about the other two (which are responsible for 95% of your results)!!
You must master these 5 essential elements once and for all!
This is where I come in, and why the 5 elements of my Magnetic Movement Method are so powerful. Your time & energy are simply too precious and valuable to be spinning your wheels, frustrated or stuck a moment longer.
My method blends...
- Technique-based instruction
- Powerful mindset shifts for dancers
- A unique way to tap into your creativity using the power of your nervous system
...so you never feel held back in your dancing again.
When we approach your West Coast Swing the right way, becoming a better dancer and reaching your goals takes less effort, energy and time…plus it’s more fun and rewarding.
Imagine how your dancing would evolve if every single week you got personalized guidance & support directly from me?
Jessica M.
“[Thanks to the Magnetic Movement Method] I felt so many layers of self-doubt start to shed. I think it also helped me re-frame my own trajectory or goals both as a dancer/competitor and as just a human being. I gradually felt myself also shift back into the driver's seat of my own life rather than a passenger. I was reminded of my own agency (sometimes gently, sometimes a bit more dramatically).”
Katherine Atwill.
“The usual advice people give to burnt out social dancers just wasn’t working for me. I needed a way to find my own creativity and passion again. Tashina’s techniques for regulating your nervous system were incredibly helpful. I was so thrilled to finally hear someone talking about the real issues holding back so many dancers. I really appreciate her insights and the shifts she’s helped me to make. I’ve finally started to enjoy dancing again. Working with Tashina, it’s so clear to me that the results will last me the rest of my life. I’m so thankful that I had this opportunity”
Envision how motivated you would feel every step of the way, if you had an online network and community of other like-minded, passion driven West Coast Swing dancers, swapping tips, cheering you on, and supporting you?
INTRODUCING THE
Westie Groove Community
A highly personalized,
online coaching membership with direct access to me!
Kathyrn Richardson, Novice WCS Follower
“While I was learning west coast swing, I sought help from top dancers on all the technical aspects of the dance.
But it was Tashina’s program that propelled me out of the doubts and fears that were holding me back into an understanding of what was important to me about dancing, and how dancing related to my values.
With Tashina’s help, I grew out of the judgment mindset and into an appreciation for my body’s ability to move, the satisfaction I found in learning new ways to move to music, the excitement I felt with each new dance adventure and the fulfillment I felt by connecting with others in the dance community.”

And in Westie Groove Community, you'll have daily access to me inside the community and weekly access to me on the LIVE Group Calls, where I personally review your progress, show you what to work on and exactly how to work on it.
You'll see that I bring a fresh touch of being accessible, dependable, professional, relatable & real.

Let’s be real
You won’t get this sort of value at this price anywhere else!
In fact, you can easily spend upwards of $145 for a single 45-minute lesson with a Champion instructor, and still walk away not knowing how to effectively put it into practice it once you get home, (or be unable to contact the pro to ask questions, unless you spend yet another $145 for a follow-up lesson)!
You can easily dish out $800 per in person event (and that’s if you're shoving 4-6 people into the hotel room and bringing your own food), just to get some new patterns, a few drills and to ask 1-2 questions in a workshop.
But in Westie Groove Community, the most you’ll spend in any given month is just $127
(at the all-inclusive Platinum level)!
THAT’S JUST $4.23 A DAY (PLATINUM) OR $2.23 A DAY (GOLD)
JOIN PLATINUM ACCESS…that’s less than the price of one cup of coffee a day to be guided by a world-class Champion & Mindset coach who’s invested in your every-step, be supported by like-minded passionate WCS dancers, and get information that isn’t taught at events anyway (a.k.a the mindset element).
$4.23 a day to ask all your burning questions, so you can easily and quickly learn new techniques…and feedback within just 48 hours (that previously might have taken weeks, months, or which you're still waiting to receive).
All whilst tapping into a supportive and non-judgmental online community to swap tips and share the journey.
It doesn't matter if you're a social dancer or a competitive dancer;
if you’re a newbie or have been doing this for years.

Deanna Joy
“For those fortunate enough to work with her, Tashina's program is sure to be life changing! Tashina is a master at unpacking the beliefs and motivations that drive our behavior and shape our experiences. This is the foundation she uses to help us examine, shift, and transform those beliefs so that we can move forward in a more deliberate, clear-minded, and healthy way!
Through this program, I have been empowered with greater intention and insight into myself and my dance experiences than I ever thought possible. A thousand times, thank you, Tashina!”
Lara Deni
“Working with Tashina opened up the ability in me to love my self more. I stopped comparing myself to others, both physical body shape and dance ability, by changing my view about myself which was ingrained from my years as a child/youth. I now have a sense of freedom in my dance. I been able to get back to why I started dancing and teaching in the first place....BECAUSE I love it! I always have wanted to share the feeling I get from dance with others, and finding my current self freedom has allowed me to do that without my usual self criticism. ”
