Teachers
Sean & Alyssa McKeever
When it comes to pushing the envelope of West Coast Swing, Sean McKeever and Alyssa Glanville are the couple to watch. Independently, these two Champion dancers are known for their work ethic, love of movement, and joy of sharing their art. Sean has a history as a black belt in martial arts and grew up dancing through a local ballroom program called Nordquist. Ironically, that is where he met Alyssa, a charismatic athlete who also had a deep love for dance and movement. They’ve shared the floor throughout their careers and finally have joined forces as a partnership. Between the two of them, they hold several titles in Classic, Strictly Swing, and Jack and Jills. But more importantly, they are committed to continuously growing themselves as dancers and artists, and will share that passion as they teach around the world.

Paul Warden & Coleen Man
Paul Warden and Coleen Man, both from London, UK, have come together to form House of Gay-asia. Individually they both have years of WCS dancing and teaching experience but in the last 7 years have partnered to bring this wealth of knowledge and creativity together. With Paul’s line dance background and Coleen’s training in ballet, jazz and tap, they bring a unique style to WCS. Together they have an amazing energy and flair for this dance sprinkled with a little lot of House of Gay-asia sass. You better work!!
Attila Kobori
Attila started dancing at the age of 15. After completing all the classes his dancing school in Vienna had to offer, he quickly became interested in dance sports and started competing in International Latin American style. After several years of practising, ups and downs on the competition floor and different dance partners he has reached the highest division “S–Class” in Austria. Attila was a registered athlete of the World Dance Sport Federation (WDSF) and until 2022 he represented Austria at international Latin dance sport competitions.
In 2017 Attila was introduced to West Coast Swing and instantly fell in love with the dance. The ability to improvise and interpret music spontaneously was something he always felt was lacking in the ballroom dances. Filled with motivation, he started competing in WCS at his first event and reached the All-Star division 2.5 years later – each competition surrounded by great amounts of social dancing. The love for all the aspects of this dance has been growing ever since and soon WCS became the main focus of his dancing career. Since he never misses out on a chance to social-dance, he usually sleeps during the day at events. On his journey as a dancer Attila has worked with different international top teachers and coaches and took classes as well as private lessons in other dance styles such as Salsa, Bachata, Lindy Hop, Ballet, etc., always eager to broaden his knowledge and finding new pieces he could implement in his dancing. Attila has been teaching and choreographing since 2012 in the styles Standard, Latin and of course more recently, Swing. “Sharing my passion and knowledge with other dancers means not only teaching but also learning for myself – and it is as rewarding as it gets.”
