Chantelle Pianetta 🇺🇸 & Joel Torgeson 🇺🇸

Chantelle (she/her) and Joel (he/him) have been partners in both life and dance since 2021, blending their unique strengths to create something remarkable in the world of West Coast Swing. Their journey began in 2017 when they first connected on the dance floor—though it wasn’t love at first (left side) pass. Years later, a shared goal of learning German during the pandemic sparked a romance that led to their engagement and marriage in late summer 2024.

Renowned for their polished physical aesthetic, captivating routines, and approachable teaching style, Chantelle and Joel have made their mark in the competitive WCS world. They have placed in the top five of all three of their Showcase routines at the Open Swing Dance Championships, including a second-place world ranking in 2024. Dedicated to inspiring dancers around the globe, they bring complementary perspectives and a shared passion for excellence to every class, performance, and competition.
