Teaching since 2009, swing dancing is his 3rd career as dance teacher. The continued enjoyment and promotion of dance for all is what brings him back to teaching year after year. Copy **Short General Bio** Nicholas has been teaching dance professionally since 2009. He started instructing ballroom, transitioned to Argentine Tango (won the US Championships), then stumbled into swing where he ended up winning a few Lindy, Shag, and Balboa competitions and coaching a team along the way. After a pandemic detour into other projects and then some world traveling, he's back to dancing and teaching in places like Japan, Korea, Lithuania, Germany, and California. He believes partner dancing is one of the best things a person can do for themselves and their community. Copy **Short Shag Bio** Hi Shaggers! I started Collegiate Shag working with Julie Roman in 2018 and I've been hooked ever since. Shag fingers, collegiate kicks, and the amazing warm community have all become a huge part of my dance life. I enjoy bringing a subtlety and texture to shag, blending precision and exuberance. My current goal is to contribute to shag by expanding the lead and follow of rhythms and shapes. Dance has always been a way for me to connect, grow, and share joy with others. Come say hi! Copy **Short Professional Bio** Nicholas Tapia is a professional dancer, contractor, and technologist. He took his first dance steps at the age of 15, and has never looked back. Dancing has taken him all over the world, from Buenos Aires to Vilnius, and currently calls Vilnius, Lithuania home. In his free time he loves nothing more than spending time in the studio, bike rides, and exploring his city's urban fabric. Copy ## Media Kit Organizers need bios, photos, and videos for their promotional materials. Rather than send a giant packet and hope for the best, everything is here so you can pick what works for your brand and your style. It's all material I've chosen and am happy with. tap to preview & download ### Solo Photos - ![Wild About Jazz 2025](https://dance.nicktapia.com/media/derivatives/thumbs/004_NicholasTapia@WAJ_20251127.webp) photo Wild About Jazz 2025 -
