About our guestS | Soleman (He/Him) and Angela (She/Her) Krebs
Soleman Krebs began dancing at the age of four, when his mother enrolled him in tap classes. What started as an early introduction quickly became a lifelong passion. He later became a certified ballroom instructor, teaching for several years before discovering West Coast Swing—a turning point that, more than 20 years ago, captured his full attention and ultimately shaped his teaching focus.
Angela Krebs began her dance journey in 1996, competing on the country dance circuit before shifting her focus entirely to West Coast Swing in 2007. Soleman and Angela met on the dance floor in 2010 and have been dancing, competing, and teaching together ever since. They were married in September 2023, continuing both their personal and professional partnership.
After relocating from Chicago to Bremerton, Washington in 2012, they played a key role in growing and strengthening the West Coast Swing community on the Kitsap Peninsula. Their workshops emphasize strong technique, clear connection, and creative variations, with a consistent focus on social dancing. Above all, they share one guiding principle with every student: you must always have fun.
