Patrick Moise
Patrick has always loved dancing – in all its forms. Growing up in a caribbean family, he was always surrounded with Latin sounds, including Zouk and Salsa music. He fell in love with West Coast Swing (WCS) in 2004. Dancing competitively since 2011, Patrick has earned multiple championships at local and international events. He has been teaching and hosting events since 2015. As a founding member and past President of Rocket Westies in Huntsville, Alabama, he is passionate about promoting WCS in the Tennessee Valley.

From instructor, to competitor, to event director, to DJ, to conference promoter, he is excited to spread the love of West Coast Swing to the Rocket City and beyond!
