Gyuri DorkóGyuri has started dancing at the age of 13. He trained and competed in latin and standard ballroom dancing as a junior until the age of 18. Then he decided to suspend his hobby and invest his time in science and engineering. After years of traveling, living and studying in different countries he has realized that he misses dancing too much. In 2008 he decided to start training in ballroom again, but shortly after that he came to the conclusion that what he really likes is social dancing. In 2011, Gyuri has moved to San Francisco for half a year, and while he was still dancing Lindy Hop and Blues, he was persuaded by a local dancer to visit a party of West Coast Swing. Even though he knew the existence of this dance, this was the time when he has fallen in love with the West Coast Swing. He then quickly started to train with the local champions and used every opportunity to practice and learn. Since then Gyuri has moved back to Switzerland, and travels all over Europe and the USA to train, improve and have fun on West Coast Swing conventions. He has trained with the best of the best, such as Jason Wayne, Ben Morris, Kyle Redd, and many more. He has taken teachers training and several intensives with Robert Royston and Mario Robau. He is a certified GPDIA basic instructor and judge. Gyuri currently competes at advanced level. He is well known in the community for his musicality and his social dancing skills. He is passionate about dancing with everyone, and making every dance special. On parties and events he is always the last one who leaves the floor. He is a triple award winner—New Years Swing Fling, French Open, UK Champs—for his social dancing skills. ![]() According to her teachers she was exceptionally talented and after just a few months she won her first competition.
