Travis began dancing in Phoenix, Arizona in 2016 and quickly fell in love with Country Swing. Since then, he's become an instructor, DJ, event director, Judge, and Chief Judge on the Modern Country Swing circuit.
After judging his first competition in 2021, Travis committed himself to learning the craft of judging through training, workshops, seminars, and mentorship.
His message to aspiring judges:
"Good dancers don't make good judges... judging is a skill that deserves time & training."

You made the final… now what?
This is where it counts.
Comment JUDGE and we’ll send you the info on our
Judges Training
Your spotlight is not about throwing your hardest moves
it’s about how you build, connect, and deliver from start to finish.
Judges aren’t just watching what you do
they’re watching how you:
• set up your movement
• land your movement
• connect with your partner
• use the music
• and tell a story
The dancers who stand out are not guessing
they understand what’s actually being evaluated.
That’s the difference.
If you want to stop hoping your dancing translates
and start knowing it does…
we teach that.

Once you understand what judges are actually looking for… everything changes.
You stop guessing
and start seeing technique, timing, and quality clearly.
That’s what levels you up
as a dancer, instructor, AND competitor.
This is more than judging
this is next-level awareness.
