MEET OUR BOARD
Our Amazing Volunteer Leadership
SHAR DANIELS
Shar adores west coast swing and everyone who dances it. They started dancing in 2020 (bad timing) and now they spend every week looking forward to Wednesday dancing. At UCSwing, find Shar DJ’ing, organizing, or trying to get in as many dances as humanly possible. They lead, follow, and switch, so they can and will dance with anyone - make sure you find them for a song or two!
KY GOVEK
Ky started dancing in 2014 with a WCS/Lindy crossover group, and has been teaching WCS for almost as long! Ky mostly lives in the Westie world now, but occasionally goes to contra dances around Philly. At UCSwing Ky teaches, DJs, helps organize events, and pushes the switch dancing agenda. When she manages to find a free night from dancing, she likes cooking, gaming, or making chainmail jewelry.
TREVYN HEY
Trevyn started dancing in 2016 in upstate New York. He started with ballroom but was eventually brought to the dark side of 😈west coast swing😈 He still remembers going to Freedom swing and seeing Robert Royston and Susan Kirklin dance to ‘Son of a Preacher man.’ Trevyn joined up with Will and Rocky to start a westie scene in West Philly and has been on board ever since as a teacher, DJ and planner.
ZOE KRONISH
Zoe started dancing West Coast Swing in 2022 at UCSwing! It quickly became a second home for her. She mainly follows but has been slowly sticking her toe in the world of leading. At UCSwing she helps coordinate events and brings fresh ideas to grow the organization. Ask her to dance!
Fun fact: her favorite dance event has been Swingesota in MN, and the coolest place she's travelled for dance is Korea!
STEFANIE SHAHAN
Stefanie loves WCS and can be convinced to try just about any style of dance once. In her spare time she loves board games, being active with other sports, and hanging with our fantastic dance community. Stefanie primarily follows but also enjoys leading. She will always say yes unless she needs to hang out with her biggest fan (the UCSwing cooling fans), so hit her up for a dance.
FREYA VERMA
Freya started West Coast Swing dancing in January 2024 and has been hooked ever since. She's fallen in love with the dance and the amazing people she's met. It's become a place where she really feels she belongs.
She helps out with social media and photography for @ucswing. So if you see her on the dance floor, don't hesitate to ask her to dance - she'd love to groove with you!
