Franz aka innovative dancing king, has been dancing country swing for 5 years! and competitively for almost 2 years. He has a background in hip hop, ballroom and a little bit of contemporary which helps with adding that extra style into his country swing or fusion swing! He is the founder of Ignite Country Fusion which was officially started a bit over a year ago, with that came the creation of Utah Dance Fest which was a success the first year, and now adding to the list the Utah Country Dance Circuit. Franz has always loved teaching and sharing his knowledge with others! He has traveled all over the country to dance, learn and compete at all of his chosen conventions. He has learned how to adapt to different styles/methods of CS and incorporate it into his own. Franz achieved some of his dreams the past year and now his next goal is to make Utah the greatest dancing spot in the nation with the unique style that Utah already has.
