Swing Dancers Ryan Boz and Alexis Garrish win FIRST PLACE US OPEN Young Adult

Ryan Boz Raleigh, NC & Alexis Garrish Damascus, MD have been dancing together now for a year. They did a fabulous performance, doing mostly their own choreography and commanded the floor with their lines, patterns, musicality and showmanship! They won the US Open Swing Dance Championships held in Burbank, CA. in the Young Adult Division. This is the highest West Coast Swing Honor that can be achieved.
Ryan and Alexis have both been dancing since a young age. Ryan has a background in Hip Hop, Shag and West Coast Swing. Ryan placed 3rd in the Cabaret Division at the US Open and is a member of the Current US Open Swing Team Champions.
Both Ryan and Alexis come from Dance Family's, with both Mom's competing throughout the years in Swing Dance Competitions (including the US Open) against each other now find themselves both on the same team.
Ryan has been dancing since he was 5 years old and is also a professional Actor who has appeared on TV shows such as "Revolution", "Sleepy Hollow", Secret and Lies" and "Powers" . He will be a featured Actor on the hit series "Vice Principles" on HBO in 2016. A great kid who between Traveling Nationally and Acting manages to be a good student and a wonderful big brother and mentor for his younger brother Gavin who has special needs. Ryan donates time to helping Kids (some older than him) learn how to Partner Dancer and Hip Hop which Ryan knows helps young people with confidence, grace and social skills.
Alexis is trained in many forms of dance. She started Tap, Jazz, Ballet, Lyrical, & Hip Hop at age 5. She then went onto learn Country where she competes still today. She is a 5 time 8 dance World Champion to include 2step, Polka, Triple 2, Nightclub, Cha, Waltz, East Coast & West Coast Swing. She is one of the youngest highest ranking West Coast swing Dancers in the World. Both are Sophomores in high school. Alexis is on the Varsity Pom Squad. She also coaches/volunteers for the local Pony Poms Squad.

From her facial expressions between moves you can see the joy and enthusiasm that takes a performance to higher levels.

[@ella9666]

I love how they smile every time they look at each other like “we can do this”

[@MyZIPPY123]

One of my favorite dances. A high point is when Ryan looks at the camera and gives the Magnum eyebrow look, so cute.

[@Jorindeify]

It all looks so effortless! A couple made in heaven.

[@FirstLifeFan]

This is about the 30th time I watch this... great choreo, great chemistry, amazing dancing!

[@tootz1950]

They choreographed this themselves? And then they danced it with perfection. Mucho kudos and WOW!

[@sisasisa4043]

She has the best expresion ever. Beautiful smile. Great skills

[@finixfire8323]

Ryan &Alexis your so darn good you'll be even better as the years go. I wish I could dance like you two. You did every move with such precision. Plus your spins are incredible . WOW. Vivi

[@sailinggirl986]

They were wonderful! I've never seen anything like that! It was icredible! Their moves were so accurate!

[@victoriah.2083]

Boz & Al, You are the best. I haven't seen couple dancers (in any genre- save classic ballet perhaps) since Astaire and Rogers that have such great training (it shows), technique and fantastic chemistry. And you have such a great time enjoying it! The audience, including me, can feel it. I've been watching dancers for over 50 years so I know talent and SUPPER STARS when I see 'em. Keep up the practice, training and reaching for the stratosphere. Blessings, V Kudos to your instructors, teachers and family for their support and guidance.
