Basic West Coast Swing
We teach six patterns in Basic West Coast Swing. These patterns are the basis
for the variations that you'll learn as an upper level dancer. Here's what
you'll experience - plenty of music, detailed instruction, and practice time to
make it work. Become familiar with footwork, lead and follow skills, and
connection with a partner. Basic Class is the foundation for all of your
West Coast Swing dancing. If you are new to dancing, or new to dancing
West Coast Swing, this is the class to get you started on your way. This
class is a prerequisite for the Intermediate Class.
Intermediate West Coast Swing
Intermediate will now be a half hour class in which we introduce the fundamental
variations on the basic patterns - the "meat and potatoes" of West Coast Swing.
Deepen your knowledge of lead, follow and partnering skills. Learn
concepts, terminology, turn technique and anchoring skills to spice up your
dancing. This class is the bridge from basic to advanced dancing, and is a
prerequisite for the Advanced Class.
Prerequisite: Basic West Coast
Swing, and Instructor permission needed to join Intermediate class.
Advanced West Coast Swing
Advanced Class will include further
variations on the basic patterns. As an experienced West Coast Swing
student, your social dance vocabulary will grow as basic patterns develop into
complex moves. We focus on making these moves work for you. Both
leaders and followers will learn spins and turns, musicality, styling, and
advanced technique. Learn to match your dancing to the variety of music
you will hear on the social dance floor.
Prerequisite: Basic West Coast
Swing, Intermediate West Coast Swing, and Instructor permission needed to join
Advanced Class.
