One of its toughest categories include the West Coast Swing category and, although it has gathered numerous various dancers, it had never witnessed anyone like Bryn Anderson and Ken Rutland before.

Bryn began her journey as a West Coast Swing dancer when she was just five years old. The dancer has ever since done her best to get creative as she infuses dance styles like jazz, ballet, and latin into her routines.

Her partner, Ken, on the other hand, did not have the experience she did, as he spent the majority of his life as a hip-hop dancer. His change in style and preference came when he switched to partner dancing seven years ago.

Ken and Bryn had only been dancing together for a year before their stunning performance at the competition. The pair looked bold and ready to tango in bright red shirts paired with black pants, as they danced to the iconic tune ‘Play that Funky Music’, by Wild Cherry.

The dancing couple incorporated not one, but several dance styles into their performance and left the judges in awe. It came as no surprise that the duo bagged the 1st place position and was named the Rising Stars of that year.
