Tom Cross

Meet Tom Cross, our Student of the Month for November! Tom started dancing with us in 2015 and lights up our studio with the energy that he brings to Lindy Hop, West Coast Swing, and Ballroom. He’s performed in many of our showcases and been a crucial part of our show staff helping with props and managing the stage at the theater. Thank you, Tom, for dancing with us, and we look forward to lots of dances with you in the future!
