West Coast Swing (WCS) is a modern version of Swing dancing, done to contemporary and classic Pop, R&B, Funk, and Blues. It's a social dance you do with a partner, BUT you don't need to BYO partner -it's more common to show up solo and switch partners each song.
No traditional role requirement in West Coast Swing - feel free to dance the role you like best in our classes, on the social dancefloor and in competition (many dancers learn both roles at some point and even learn to switch!)
West Coast Swing is known for being the most equitable partner dance: both partners have freedom to express themselves and contribute to the dance.
Just like in any other type of sport:
you don't need to be amazing or competitive in order to enjoy yourself - you just need to learn a few essential skills and the rules of the game, then you can dance with anyone!
Here's what you can expect to look like after just a few classes:
Get started with this slick, dynamic, improvised partner dance with an accelerated method that will have you learning fast and having fun immediately!
No partner required.

WCS is a social dance, meaning everyone dances with everyone for one song at a time, so you switch partners constantly during the class. But if you have specific concerns, you can stay together if necessary.
We are excited to welcome you! This workshop will be a nice express way to convert your existing skills and learn the rules of the West Coast Swing game.
Dress casual, no need to be formal. You'll want to choose something you can raise your arms in comfortably. It's a good idea to bring a second shirt to change into just in case you get too sweaty. Ladies tend to wear pants, not skirts, and flats are better than heels.Shoes: any that are not too bulky or grippy.
Then this is perfect for you! Everyone has to start somewhere! You will be among a few hundred new dancers who feel the same way you do.
If you know you learn better one-on-one or want to progress faster, contact us to discuss custom training program options.
