Campbell and Chris have been dancing together since the Fall of 2008, and in that time they've created their own style. Like most dancers, they met on the dance floor, and immediately felt a strong connection. You could say it's that Campbell loves being in the air and Chris is happy to oblige, but it goes farther than that. Together they mold different styles of dance and new ideas into their own version of Blues, their own piece of happiness.

Campbell and Chris have been competing since shortly after they met, and they've been blazing a trail through the circuit. And while they've both been successful by themselves, they often seem to earn more accolades as a partnership -- once again proving that their whole is even better than the sum of its parts. Campbell and Chris have won competitions at events such as bluesSHOUT!, Mile High Blues, Sweet Molasses Blues, Blues Blaze, and many more.

Dave Madison and Mike Legett are both renowned for teaching Blues and Lindy Hop on their own. They met in 2006 at the infamous Hërrang Dance Camp and fell in love with each other's dancing. After trying out a teaching stint at the first Enter The Blues, they realized that their teaching philosophies matched almost as well as their dancing connection, and they have been found teaching across the states from coast to coast.
