Swing Kat's In House Instructors

Faryl Codispoti
Faryl Codispoti never danced a day in his life until he was 25. In an attempt to spend more time with his sister Renee who was dying of cancer, Faryl started going out to dances with her. Out at one of those dances Renee and Faryl saw another brother and sister swing dancing. They didn't know what it was, but they both vowed to learn it. Renee took ill before they could find a place to swing dance, but Faryl stayed the course. Just after turning 26 and two months before Renee's passing, Faryl found the Philly swing dance scenes and started to dance. After two years of dancing there and at Eastern University, Faryl was asked to instruct at Eastern. Mostly self taught, he found that he was quite good at teaching and kept teaching at Eastern for the next 3 years. Faryl has been asked to dance in a number of performances and benefits. He has also won first place in swing dance competition. Faryl has also taught privately, for benefits, at the YMCA and now at his newly formed Swing Kat Entertainment!
