Jacob Reding began his dance journey with social Country Swing / 2-Step / 3-step in August of 2003. Jacob is now incredibly blessed and humbled to have become the most decorated and accomplished country bar circuit dancer in the U.S., having earned 33 Champion Belt Buckles as well as numerous other wins in Country Swing (stationary), Progressive Freestyle & Traditional, Slotted Swing, & Lifts & Aerials. Since 2021, Reding has been slowly transitioning from a competitor role to more of a mentor role while traveling, teaching, and sharing his knowledge with various dance communities across the U.S. He has found so much joy in this process and has loved seeing the growth and progress of the various dancers and their communities that he has had the pleasure to visit and pour into. Saturday, June 29th, Jacob will be hosting a Country Swing workshop at The Jump in Gallatin Gateway. It is recommended that you have the basic foundations of Country Swing learned before attending this event. Join the Country Renegades at one of their social lessons to learn the basics!
