Instructors

Lead Instructors for WCS in Malaysia:

Amir

• Amir is the lead instructor of West Coast Swing at SalsaJay. Amir fondly recaps how he fell in love with West Coast Swing when he saw Jordan Frisbee and Tatiana Mollmann performed at the 2009 Salsa Cruise Asia. 
  Since then, he has been hooked. Amir describes West Coast Swing as a contemporary dance which blends emotion and expression into flowing movements that showcases the dancer’s musicality. Amir is presently actively lending a helping hand to expand the community of West Coast dancers in the Klang Valley.
  
  Catch Amir and his students at the West Coast Swing socials at Paradox Art Café every Wednesday.

Ling

• Looking for something to do after work, what started off as a weekday activity or fun workout turned into a passionate exploration of music, grooving, self-expression through dance and growing friendships.
  
  Since walking into the studio in 2007, Yee Ling has gone from social dancing, to various performances, to choreography for the SalsaJay Performance Team, even venturing into other styles of dance such as American Tribal Bellydance.
  
  Some of her public performances have been at the 2009 SalsaCruiseAsia Launch Party, 2009 Stopover’s Exclusive Flower Power Salsa event and the RITMONIANS Performance 2012 with The Banshees Danse Du Ventre.
  
  Having discovered the world of West Coast Swing, she is now keen on spreading the word on this Bluesy style, allowing for dancers to move to a flexible array of music, even most songs played on radio today.
