Thibault & Nicole Ramirez
May 3oth June 1st, 2025

We met in 2015, finding a shared language only in the rhythm of dance. Thibault couldn’t speak English; Nicole couldn’t speak French. But on the dance floor, we effortlessly connected. We used Google Translate to grow closer, and in January 2019, we officially started our partnership, falling in love at the same time.

​

Together, we are three-time World Champions in the Showcase division and individually hold six World Championship titles. We spend 46 weekends a year traveling globally, teaching, performing, judging, and competing at the West Coast Swing events. Our expertise and passion for the dance make us highly sought-after at congresses and events worldwide.

​

Even during the pandemic, we never paused–instead, we refined our skills, crafted mini-routines, engaged in online teaching, and improvised daily. We pushed ourselves, developing our style and keeping our community inspired.

​

We founded Unit Dance Center to establish a learning hub for dancers to grow their West Coast Swing. Our mini-choreography intensives challenge dancers to learn and perform routines at events. Our annual Unit Dance Festival is a testament to our commitment, pushing dancers to learn choreography and perform for a professional camera crew.

Together, they are two-time World Champions with their Showcase routine, as well as individually hold six World Championship titles.

They travel worldwide (46 weekends per year) to some of the biggest events, teaching, performing, judging, and competing. The two are in high-demand at events and congresses for their performances, knowledge, and love for this dance. Even during the pandemic, their passion pushed them to work on their skills, creating and performing mini-routines, teaching online, and improvising daily to continue to grow and develop their style even more, while keeping their community inspired.

Together they choreograph routines and coach dancers all around the world with an emphasis on technique and precision. Teaching together, we’ve developed a great rhythm delivering technique-focused classes in a relaxed, enjoyable environment. With over 20 years of experience in West Coast Swing and various partner and solo dances, our our teaching style benefits dancers of all styles. On-stage and in-class, we love to motivate and inspire our audiences, bringing our emotion, passion, and energy.
