Instructional Videos
Since 2000, Doug has created his own instructional videos, first on VHS, then DVD, then through Apps and Online Downloads. Now all of his Instructional Content is free via YouTube. This website proudly has cataloged the videos for easy access.
Concept Videos
Telling stories through movement and music. Doug has collaborated with some of the top dancers and artists in the Industry – from Matt Steffanina to Leify Green. All of his collaborations and Concept Videos are on YouTube for your viewing enjoyment.
Competition Videos
Watch Doug’s journey through the partner dance competition world – from his first National Title win at the 2001 American Lindy Hop Championships (1st Place Strictly Lindy with Christy Vasiliauskus) to his later Showcase division routines. These videos also include non judged performances – which in Doug’s opinion, are a much healthier form of presentation.
The Silton Foundation
TSF is a 501c3 domestic non-profit foundation run by dancers, for dancers. Our goal is to provide funds for dance education, travel, event tickets, and more to dancers who have amazing potential but do not have the financial ability to achieve their potential.
Have you always wanted to get private coaching, travel to more events, and become the dancer you know you could be if you had the financial means? Then these grants are for you.

Memory Lane
Remember the good ol’ dance days? When my knees and feet didn’t ache? When my rotator cuff didn’t have arthritis? When my back didn’t hurt after dancing on concrete for 5 hours?
Take a walk with me down memory lane.

Press & Promoters
The world without photography will be meaningless to us if there is no light and color, which opens up our minds and expresses passion.
My style is a combination between photojournalism and fine-art photography with a touch of fashion and creative lighting. My photos are inspired by light, color, techniques from black & white processing, vintage photos, creative perspective, and of course, most importantly, the personalities of the people I photograph!
