Can't express enough gratitude on how much both of you have done for our wcs scene. It's been AMAZING having both of you around. Again! I believe I speak on behalf of my fellow friends that your presence,privates and workshops have inspired us to go on improving our dance.

It was also great catching up and watching old wcs videos.

Thank you for sharing your passion for the dance.

2018-04-18 11:08:25 UTC

WYour workshops are awesome and so inspiring. Getting to have a privates lesson with Larisa has gave me so much that I can work on to improve on my dance. 😊 Hope to see you next year.

Thank you for being comfortable to be yourselves and give tremendously in building our community. You both are awesome! Inspiring you both are!

Hi Tony and Larisa!

2018-04-18 12:44:33 UTC

Thank you for all you have done for us at West Coast Swing Malaysia. Spending most of your week here in helping us improve in our dancing with your vast knowledge and experience. You also encourage us to explore, learn, and discover so much about West Coast Swing. There are no words that can express our gratitude for you because you empowered us to chase our West Coast Swing dreams even more now. We all learned many new things from you both! Can't wait for 2019!

Dear Tony and Larisa,

2018-04-18 12:56:44 UTC

Thanks a bunch! :)

2018-04-18 13:13:18 UTC

Dear Tony & Larisa, what an honour to learn from you both! Your patience and kindness last weekend was amazing, and I don't know how you were able to keep so energetic and cheerful despite so little sleep...what an honour to see you both dancing your showcase performance in person too! I hope to one day be a fraction as good as you! :) Thank you thank you thank you and I hope we have future MYSWINGs together!
-Amelia

Thank you!

2018-04-18 16:30:44 UTC

It was such a blast being able to learn from the both of you over the course of the weekend, and a pleasure to be able to see the two of you dance in person.

Larisa, seeing you dance has given me so much to strive for. Tony, I've learnt so much as a follow even in your tips for the leads. Your workshops were super engaging, always informative, and often hilarious. I'm genuinely sad I can't make it for AWCSO. Y'all are amazing and I hope to see the both of you again in the future. Also, Tony, glad I managed to get a dance with you before the end of it! (Your tattoos are still the coolest.)

Thank you for taking the time to come to Malaysia and letting us adopt you for a week! The difference you have made to our scene everytime you guys come here is more than words can say.

Hey tony and Larisa!

Can’t express how much we appreciate your presence and effort in Malaysia. Thank you for the AMAZING workshops, privates and sharing past WCS videos with us. I believe I speak on behalf of my fellow community that both of you have made an enormous impact in ‘shaping ‘ our dance and scene. It’s a great feet(pun intended) to be champions but it takes triple times more to be awesome teachers.

Thank you for investing in us. Looking forward to seeing your new routine!!

Much love,
Margie. <3

You guys are amazing!

2018-04-18 16:39:27 UTC

Words cant express how amazing the both of you are and how much you have helped and transformed our local scene in the short time you were with us. Just comparing our wednesday socials this week and last is a testament to how you have helped take our small community to new heights.

Its also super inspiring for us to see your own growth as well in the past year and this inspires us to improve and show you proud as well.

On a more personal level thank you so much for all the coaching you have been giving me over the last week. You have helped me break through a plateau and Im excited to work on all the material you have given me for the next one year.

We look forward to seeing and following your new routine as you polish it on the US circuit and we for sure will live stream it during US open. You will have a room full of malaysians cheering you on!

april 2019 cant come any sooner!

2018-04-18 16:42:46 UTC

Maybe we'll make everyone come in PJs next year....

Hi Tony & Larissa! This is my 8th month into Wcs after many years of doing hip hop. I am very thankful that I had a chance to meet with you both; legends and seniors in the scene within this short span. Your sincerity can be felt with all that you both do, from appearing at our little weekday socials right up to the extent of teaching us even when Larissa was unwell. It is admirable but I honestly do hope she gets better soon and we really hope to have you guys back in Malaysia again one day. Thank you so much for contributing to our Malaysian. Scene. Xoxo - Marilyn

MUCH LOVE 😍

Dear Tony and Larisa,

Thanks so much for taking precious time out of your busy schedule to come teach and grow our West Coast Swing community!! It has been lovely having you guys around and I really hope to see you guys again next year!

Hope to dance with you again at AWCSO, Tony! And Larisa, thanks for fixing whatever was broken with me! 😋 Really honoured to have gotten advice from you!

Much love,
Cassie

My thanks for spending all that time with us. And for coaching me Larisa.. it made a difference for me! And Tony- cant wait to see my video with me dancing with u!

Larisa- since we both ❤️ cats. Here is my grumpy girl for u!

THANK U! xx

2018-04-18 16:54:20 UTC

I was gutted last year to not have the chance to meet you both. Only saw you in a Asian Open Lift, and was Tooo scared to say Hi!.

Thank you in so many levels and ways..
1. Making us all be aware, responsible, communicate and have fun in our dance journey. Hearing everyone discuss, buzz on wanting to improve. Is 250% down to you both inspiring us, pushing us, and THANK YOU not letting us 'give excuses!'.

2. Routine: I personally can not thank you enough. Those personal demons you both crushed and pushed us (please keep doing this to us!!) If you could consider, adding us to the US Open 'training Squad-would be the most incredible
experience (while scarry). To fully appreciate the many levels of this dance in a routine, and for you to 'push and explain I feel I finally understand. Thank you

3. Private and social dance. Larisa & Tony.. I promise 'no excuses' 'suck it up! - get on with it. Challenge excepted... LOL :)

Hope to see you both in events globally. Keep in contact with us all. You both have gained a WCS Malaysia community 'followers' at every youtube/ Ustream event and hearing and seeing 'everyone' look of 'wow, woo, aaah as you both Freestyle is UTTERLY Incredible. Not alone personally ....THANK YOU .. .. Kirstin xx

You are both saints for not rejecting my a-rhythmic feet. Thank you for the lessons on life and dance.

We can't just give up because we are annoyed or surprised. We have to just keep dancing and we'd better be back on beat within two counts because life is short and two counts is a long time.
- Mother Larisa

And most of all thank you for all the smiles all the whiles,

Dear Tony and Larisa,

2018-04-18 17:09:38 UTC

I love how you show us that learning never stop and we can always be better and better. You’ve also reminded us that if we want something to happen we’ve got to f-king COMMIT and DO IT!

I am so grateful that we get to have you both here just for Malaysia WCS community. I’ve take away many lessons from you.

p/s: Having wine from the bottle in a private class is simply the best class ever =)

Thank you and much love for you both. Keep on rocking the dance floor as you have the whole MYWCS rooting for you.

Lots of love,
Carmen Chan

Thanks jessica?

You guys have been such an inspiration to us! From helping all of us with techniques to even help right our mental view on what dance is.

Greatly appreciate all the effort you have done for us! We should definitely do a swingover history lesson in PJs!

Best,
Ian.

Hey Tony & Larisa! It’s been such an awesome week having you two around. Learnt so much and humbled by the 110% dedication you’ve been giving us despite the jet lag in addition to keeping up to the US time zone expectations. Definitely gonna be putting to use some of the stuff you two have taught.

Take care and lots of LOVE from the Malaysians!

THANK YOU TONY & LARISA

2018-04-18 23:10:56 UTC

Hi Tony & Larisa!

First, I want to say thank you. Thank you for spending countless hours with us, the Malaysians, working with workshops also private to help the scene improve in our dancing. Your passion for dance is inspiring and infectious, especially to all the new dancers; it will be an eye opening for them to have an experience on how overseas event were held.

Thank you for never giving up on us as our community continue to grow.

I'm not sure if you know this, but you both are my first WCS instructor? I have not taken any lesson before MYSWING 2017. WCS has made an immense impact on my life.

Now before this all gets much more sappy, I must wrap this up by saying thank you for fixing me. Hopefully I am able to regain that confidence in dancing soon.

Larisa and Tony, you made it a really awesome learning experience for us in Malaysia. Important dance lesson we all have been yearning for and I am so glad I was at each and every workshops you conducted.

The private lessons helps me get my shit together and that is changing the way I move when I dance. So much amazing detail put together and bam! they all make perfect sense. The injury I have no longer makes me feel weak and frail, I feel I am in control a lot more than usual when I dance and it has become a blessing in disguise!

And wow this is the second year anniversary. We're so so lucky to have you guys here in Malaysia. I hope for the same for many years to come. And that you have enjoyed spending time with us.

Cheers to many more great dancing moments

Rest well or dance it off!

Thank you Tony and Larissa for making MySwing a memorable experience for me. I love to watch the two of you dance and it is definitely way better than watching on YouTube. The connection between the two of you while you are dancing is amazing.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us and I hope to be able to practice and expand on the ideas given in order to improve myself and become a better dancer.

Hope to see the both of you again in other WCS events.
