Skippy Blair information


Skippy Blair (March 15, 1924 – June 30, 2021)[1][2] was an American ballroom dancer credited with popularizing "West Coast Swing."[3] Blair was a member of a group that successfully lobbied the State Legislature in 1988 to have West Coast Swing designated as the official State Dance of California.[citation needed] She was also the founder of the Golden State Dance Teachers Association[1] and a co-founder of the World Swing Dance Council.[4][5][1]

Blair danced in the 1975 film Queen of the Stardust Ballroom.[5][1]

In 1994, she was inducted into the National Swing Dance Hall of Fame.[5] Her students include US Open champions Jordan Frisbee and Tatiana Mollmann.[6]

Blair created the Universal Unit System, a complete system of dance notation that allows dancers to "read" a dance much like musicians read music.[5]
