Scott Blevins is known internationally as an award-winning choreographer, discerning judge and highly knowledgeable dance instructor.  Since he began his dance career in 1989, he has touched the lives of many through his entertaining dance instruction, developmentally focused coaching and innovative choreography. Some of his many well-known choreographies include:

- Cha Cha Burn, So Fiesty, Coochie Bang Bang, Have Fun Go Bad, Showstopper, Jenkins Sisters Jam, Trouble Is, etc.

 

He grew up in Texas as a young lad and quickly found his way to line dance in 1988. As he was walking

into a country bar with his wife one night, they were stunned that the dance floor was packed with people dancing in lines and having a blast. Since there was no room to couples dance, he stepped onto

the floor and picked up the Tush Push. He stsrted learning more line dances, meet new people and 

dancing the nights away. A few months later in 1989, he started teaching line dance at the local community center and at private functions. He really enjoyed sharing his passion for dance through

teaching, and it was that passion that drove him to choreograph his first line dance, 'Bunkhouse Boogie” - and that’s when it all really started.  He moved on to a teaching position at a new 60,000 sq

ft. nightclub in the Chicago suburbs, and he was teaching as many as 1000 people on any given weekend night. 

 

One dance turned into a few dances, and at some point, he gathered a few of his friends, called

themselves the Country Steppin’ dance team, and set off to show everyone his dances at an organized 

dance competition. He won that competition, and many after, and those wins earned me invitations to

teach at many dance convention weekends. This new dance world fueled his love for music and dance,

and he soon earned the reputation for making people's dancing better and easier by sharing tips and teaching technique in classes. His reputation for teaching technique spread, which eventually led to

teaching and judging on the regional dance circuit, and then the World Championships. And the next thing he knew, he was traveling around the world sharing this love of dance with an amazing family 

of dancers from many different cultures.

 

Over the years, he kept his choreography creative and fun, exploring new areas of dance and music

and working with and trained some incredibly talented dancers. By donig so, he helped to expand the world of line dance both socially and competitively. He has enjoyed much success, earning 

national and international acclaim, including:

Induction into The Linedancer Magazine Hall of Fame - UK

Multiple Crystal Boot Awards – Linedancer Magazine - UK

Multiple Star Awards – UCWDC - USA

Multiple Country Dance Music Association Awards - USA

Multiple Dancer’s Choice Awards - USA

Multiple Outstanding Dance Achievement Awards- Canada

 

According to him, most importantly, he have had the opportunity to travel extensively, meet some

wonderfully interesting people and build many priceless friendships, all while doing work he really love to do. Music and dance never fail to inspire him, and he plan to keep following wherever they  

lead and continue the journey. 

Thank you, Scott!
