World champion ballroom dancers whirl into Edmonds

Edmonds resident Rickie Taylor and her dancing partner, Erik Linder, performed at the Edmonds Senior Center Friday afternoon. The two have been dancing together since they were 4. Now teenagers, they are five-time National Junior Ballroom champions as well as world champions.

Also making a guest appearance were 8-year-old Eric and 10-year-old Lana, two young dancers described as Rickie and Erik’s protégés.

The dancers are raising money to fund expenses related to their next international competition. To donate visit erikandrickie.com.
