Ben & Melina
Westwood & Woodland Hills, CA

Ben and Melina brought their talents together for a West Coast Swing routine in the summer of 2003, and have since won many young adult titles together - most notably the Young Adult division of the 2003 and 2005 US Open Swing Dance Championships. They now travel together both nationally and internationally to teach and compete.

Ben Morris moved from Colorado to Westwood, California in the fall of 2004 to attend UCLA. Maintaining an uncommon dualism with West Coast Swing, he is a Champion Lindy Hopper; receiving the Spirit of Lindy Hop award at the 2004 National Jitterbug Championships, and winning the Showcase division at the 2006 US Open with a Lindy Hop routine.

Melina Ramirez lives in Woodland Hills, California, and is also the 2001 US Open Swing Dance Championships Young Adult Champion, and is well versed in numerous dances; with several years of ballroom training and 2 UCWDC World Country Dance Championships titles.
