 George Kenneth Wright

 January 16th, 1945 - June 16th, 2021

George Wright, passed from his earthly life June 16th. I met George shortly after joining TSC in 1979 and had no idea the impact he would have on the West Coast Swing Dance community or me.  George formed TSC as a dance club b and for the members.  Lessons were taught by members who were not paid to teach.  He wrote the Bylaws to make sure that no one person could take control of the club and only the members could decide the direction and future of TSC.  He encouraged the club's participation in many regional dance competitions, many in regional dance competitions, many of which TSC won as a club and individually, including Midwest Challenge, Southwest Regionals, Tulsa Invitational, Dallas Dance and many Oklahoma State Contest. George promoted West Coast Swing every opportunity that was available to him.   The club, at one point, had over 200 active members and went out dancing every Thursday night. TSC had many regional and nationally recognized dancers.  Thanks to George, I was encouraged to become and instructor and competitor.  George created the first sound system used for competitions.  I learned about sound systems and sound reinforcement from George and his exceptional technical knowledge. We worked many dance contests together and eventually became business partners in a company doing sound, video production and dance floor for West Coast competitions and many corporations in the Tulsa area.

For many years, TSC used the facilities of Arthur Murray Dance Studios owned by max Thedford.  Max was a great supporter of TSC.  After Max closed his studio, we needed and wanted aa long term location.  Because of his commitment to TSC, he located and managed the build out of our own dance studio known as the TSC Clubhouse.  With over 1500sq feet of dance floor and space for parties of 150 plus people, it was definitely the pinnacle event in his support and the history of TSC.  TSC grew and became so successful with the help of many great members and leader's but the core principals were outlined in the beginning by George.  I could go on forever, but the most important thing is George was my friend, mentor, business partner and an inspiration in my life.  George is and will always be greatly missed. Rest well my friend.

This Sunday, Feb. 9th, 2020

We will start our new class schedule and introduce our newest instructor.

Benjamin is excited to recently be joining the Tulsa dance community after leaving a fruitful professional dance career in Memphis, Tennessee this past June. For over 15 years he has been sharing his continued research and gleaning of knowledge of American Ballroom, Latin, and Swing dancing with his pupils. Among his tutelage of advanced competition and performance styles, Ben’s methods of instruction have been crafted on the basis of logic and ease of comprehension for even the less (or non) experienced dancers. From the boards in the ballroom to the bricks on Beale Street, his accolades and styles vary to guide the newest dancers, casual and social style dancers, and beyond.
