Lance has been involved in Swing dancing for over twenty-five years, in many forms, and in many capacities. His lengthy list of dance credentials could be summed up with his distinction of being a five-time U.S. Open Swing Dance Champion. He has often been compared to a young Dean Collins and is known for his smooth and elegant style. He has served the Swing dance community for all of these years in every capacity: teacher, choreographer, and judge. He has created demo tapes, given exhibition performances, and participated in many Swing dance promotions - including an appearance in the TV special "In The Swing". Lance has given freely of his time and talents. For many years, he has actively taught and worked with children in Lynn Vogen's dance studio. His volunteer efforts have also been instrumental in the informational systems aspects of the World Swing Dance Council. His skills, thoroughness, and dedication are reflected in his well-known event competition computer scoring services. Over a dozen weekends a year, you will find him working with promoters, judges and contestants, for efficient and smooth-running events.

For her first year as a CSC team member, Andie will be handling the VIP relations, competition sponsors as well as competition registration. She packed on organizational skills working for the Festival de Sciences et Génie at University Laval three years in a row at logisitics and human resources from 2007 to 2009. But little did she know what was about to happen when she took her first swing dance class over the summer of 2007. A little bit more than a year later, she placed 2^nd at her first competition at the Eastern Balboa Championships' IBC contest in 2008 with her new partner and soon-to-be husband Jason Herron. Within her two first years of competing and learning the dance, they placed 1^st in the Strictly Balboa at Boston Tea Party 2009 and Twin Cities Balboa Festival 2009 and 2^nd at their very first participation in the International Balboa Championships at Balboa Rendezvous 2009. Not only did they qualify for the finals of the ACBC at All Balboa Weekend 2009 during their first year of competing, but they placed 2^nd the following year. She is now back to school so she can spend the rest of her career at school… teaching. After attending CSC 4 years in a row competing and teaching, she finally decided that the fifth year had to be extra special and busy!
