ROB BAEN

I’ve loved and explored music for as many years as I can remember, making my own mix tapes from the time I had enough coin in my pocket to shop the dustbins of used record stores. Music has always had the ability to take me into a different part of the universe.

I came to the dance world late in life, 39 years old at the time, and on crossing paths with WCS, I learned what it meant to be addicted. Music and dance partnered up to consume whatever time, money and effort I had to offer.

I’ve been dj-ing for WCS dancers, both locally and as an invited guest since the the mid-90’s, was the head DJ of a local Carolina Shag/WCS dance club, and for the past 10 years I’ve been an event director and DJ for 2 WSDC sanctioned events, Philly Swing Classic and Freedom Swing Dance Challenge.
