Nelson Clarke was introduced to Line Dancing by his grandmother in Cornwall, Ontario, when he was just 11 years old and took to it like a fish to water. He discovered West Coast Swing while on tour with a Line Team that performed across North America and never looked back. Known for his exceptional musicality and his success in competition as both a lead and follow in the All Star division, Nelson currently teaches private lessons and workshops and specializes in choreographing routines
