GySgt Damon Stone and GySgt Heidi Fite

Stationed in San Francisco, Gunnery Sergeants Stone and Fite often find themselves on assignment all over the world. They are involved in SF area projects, such as "Roots" and "9:20 Special" and head up their own events "Blues Shout" and "Down Home Blues Festival".

Their classes are both inspiring and challenging, focusing on the underlying principals and fundamentals that both new recruits and experienced veterans must rely on.

Their classes will kick your ass and put some serious ass in your dancing.

SSgt Ogden Sawyer and SSgtAmanda Gruhl

New to our drill staff this year, we have high expectations for Staff Segeants Sawyer and Gruhl. Stationed in Boston, they teach weekly classes for local dancers.

SSgt Gruhl has been dancing since the age of five, and is a talented teacher, choreographer, and performer of jazz, ballet, lyrical, hip hop, swing, and blues. SSgt Sawyer began studying movement with martial arts at the age of 9 and has been dancing since 1997, studying many forms of dancing.

The pair have been dancing, choreographing, and competing together in Blues since 2000 and teaching Blues together since 2002.

GySgt Jerry Warwick and GySgt Kathy Warwick

Returning to our drill staff for another grueling weekend, Gunnery Sergeants Warwick and Warwick will challenge you, inspire you, and humble you. They are loved by just about everyone that has ever taken a class from them, and are a pillar in the Dallas dance community.

They have been teaching Blues for over seven years all over the country to overwhelming praise from their students, who enjoy their humorous style and desire to teach you how to connect to the music that moves you across the dance floor.

GySgt Tina Davis and GySgt Don West

Mere words aren't enough for this dynamic duo that managed to take a room of 65+ new dancers and turn them into a Company of dancers that looked like they knew what they were doing out on the dance floor.

We're bringing them back again this year to lead out Company A and to provide some serious challenges for the rest of the recruits.
