Performing with loved ones can be a dream come true, and for Sidney Kimble West and her father, Sam West, it was just that when they took the stage at the 2020 National SHAG Dance Championships.
Sam, a hidden legend in the dance world, joined his daughter for a mesmerizing performance of Ben E. King’s “Stand By Me.” As the music began, their serious expressions quickly turned to joy, moving in perfect harmony across the floor.
This wasn’t just a dance; it was a celebration of their family’s love for the art. Sam’s journey into dance started at age nine, inspired by his mother. He won two junior national titles with his partner Terri Alberty during his school years.
Their performance was more than just a display of talent. It was a powerful reminder that dance, like family, brings people closer together. “It was a dream come true, dancing with my dad,” Sidney said.
