William and Lasonda (WILLAS) are West Coast Swing Competitors who compete, judge, and teach workshops across the country in various swing dance venues. Between the two of them, they share over 100 awards and recognitions. Their style is reminiscent of a classy, smooth, yet funky mix. This is why they are coined as "Classically Smooth and Funky."
Will is a native of Harlem, NY, but currently resides in Maryland. At a very young age, he fell in love with the dual syncopations and flashy attire that partner dancing had to offer. As a teenager, he soon found comfort in singing, acting, and dancing and began to immerse himself in the arts through school and community activities. William wandered into the world of West Coast Swing and has won several awards to map his success in his new found love.
Lasonda hails from Mason, TN, but currently lives in Dallas, TX. Lasonda currently teaches West Coast Swing and Swing Out. This year she is proud to have won Top Teacher at Texas Open Classic and Top Teacher Honors 2nd Place at Mad Jam which is the largest comp in the east. She is also founder of S-Factor Dance Troupe.
William and Lasonda are the perfect blend of urban swagger meets southern sophistication. They are evidence that opposites attract, and sometimes create The Perfect Storm!
