Jason Miklic
Jason Miklic began dancing West Coast Swing in 1995 for the same reason as most straight and single men his age...to meet girls! However, he quickly fell in love with the dance and realized he wanted to take his dancing to the next level. He began competing in 1997 in the Jack and Jill, Strictly Swing, and Country Western couples divisions.
Rising quickly through the ranks Jason decided to begin competing in both the Classic and Showcase divisions. He proceeded to gather top five and later, top three finishes throughout the National Association of Swing Dance Events (NASDE) tour events including the America's Classic and the Chicago Classic Showcase division championship in 2009.
Jason continues to dance and teach all over the world. He is also one of three principal instructors for the XtremeWCSwing Dance Training curriculum, a fundamental and practical training program designed for serious dancers of all levels. Jason lives in the Greater Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky area with his beautiful wife and two adorable little girls.
