Robert and Deborah are presently competing and teaching together. Their partnership, established in late 1997, has produced many impressive wins, too numerous to name, with phenomenal performances. Some of the highlights since they have come together include, for over 10 years they have always placed in the top six at the U.S. Open Swing Dance Championships, even when dancing injured. They were U.S. Open Showcase Division winners for 1999 and 2000. U.S. Open Sophisticated Swing winners for 2007 & 2008 and have been the Grand Nationals Champions for Classic and Showcase for 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002. They clinched the NASDE circuit for 4 Years in a row 1998-2001. They were undefeated in both Classic in 1999 and Showcase in 2000. Deborah Won the Champion of Champions Phoenix Invitational for 2000 & 2006. Robert is a California Swing Dance Hall Of Fame as well as Dallas D.A.N.C.E. Hall of Fame inductee. Deborah was inducted into the Dallas D.A.N.C.E. Hall of Fame in 2006. They also had the privilege of teaching Bridget Fonda and Danny Elfman for their wedding dance in Nov. 2003. Their combined teaching styles provide an unusual and refreshing learning experience, both in a private and classroom environment. Both Robert and Deborah are enthusiastic dancers and their dance classes are enormously exciting while conveying tremendous technical information and relating their own personal experiences.
