Joshua Boroff and Devona Cartier

Devona first began swing dancing at the age of eight as a Carolina Shagger taught by her dad in his North Myrtle Beach kitchen. She took her first Lindy hop class in 1998, and her first Blues class in 2000. Recently she has taken top prizes in Jack and Jill Competitions at Down Home Blues and Jammin' the Blues, two national Blues events.

Joshua grew up loving music and moving to it. He took his desire for movement and put it into fencing, which he competed in and taught for ten years. He started Lindy hopping in 1998 and began Blues dancing in 2003.

Joshua and Devona began dancing together in 2003. They have a unique style of dancing to blues music that incorporates vintage blues dances with their own personal style. When they dance, they want to express the rhythms, styles, feels, and tones of the music, varying their style as the music changes. They have taught and competed extensively throughout the country for the past several years (and were finalists in the Blues Division at the Rhythmic Arts Festival,) but sharing their love for Blues dancing in a regular classroom setting is something that they look forward to at Sandra Cameron Dance Center.
