Laureen Baldovi
from The Naked Truth: Real Talk about West Coast Swing
Most people know Laureen Baldovi from her winning routines with Robert Royston, but she has followed her own path since their partnership ended nearly two decades ago. In this episode, we sat down with the eight-time US Open Swing Dance Champion to discuss her early days in West Coast Swing, her inspirations and mentors, and what made her and Robert so successful. We talked about why she stepped away from swing dancing, how she found her way back, and the challenges she had to overcome along the way. Plus, she shared her view of the dance today, her feelings about performing “Fever” at The Open again, and her thoughts on judging swing content. So settle in, get cozy, and enjoy our conversation with this classy and lovely living legend of swing. footnotes Robert Royston & Laureen Baldovi – Fever (1997) Robert Royston & Laureen Baldovi – Fever (2018) Ronnie DeBenedetta & Lauren Baldovi (2010)
