Kim found his love for dance in high school when a social dance class was offered his sophomore year, dancing the cha-cha, waltz and other ballroom dances. The neo-swing movement of the late 90’s also brought a love for the high-energy excitement of Lindy Hop Swing. But a new movement in the Utah swing scene led Kim to “crossover” into something new and exciting. A dance of endless possibilities, Kim was introduced to West Coast Swing in 2004 and has loved the dynamics and versatility of the dance. Kim started sharing his love for West Coast Swing in 2008 teaching at the local venue. The passion continued as Kim took his 15 years of music training to the DJ booth. The combination of dancing, teaching, and DJ’ing makes Kim one of Utah’s rising stars in West Coast Swing.
Kim continues to teach, DJ, and promote West Coast Swing in Utah. He can also be found traveling across the country, learning from the champions of West Coast Swing, and competing on the national circuit.
