Mangesh (Mango) Urankar was introduced to West Coast Swing when he moved to Syracuse in 2015 for grad school. He has since attended many National WCS events and competes in the Advanced division. He derives a lot of inspiration from other dance styles. When he isn’t on the dance floor, he can be found DJing at local CNY dances.
Moriah Edwards is an accomplished West Coast Swing dancer who competes at the All-Star level. She has been active in the community since 2017. She has a background in hula, with a smattering of ballet, ballroom, and other partner dances. Moriah recently moved to Syracuse from the Boston area, and is excited to share her dance knowledge with our local community.
