During a state-level dance competition in California, Jason and Katie astounded everyone by choosing to perform the West Coast Swing to a Rolling Stones classic. While this song and dance combination may have initially seemed unconventional, it posed no challenge for these exceptionally skilled professionals.
Drawing from their expertise in lindy hop, Jason and Katie skillfully tailored their dance moves to perfectly complement the rhythm of the song.
