Wanting to try something new?
Come and dance with us, no partner or experience required!
This is West Coast Swing.
Each weekly class is built up of four bite sized lessons which will enable a gradual build-up of skills and repertoire in a friendly, supportive atmosphere.
The lessons cover:
Solo footwork
Fundamental concepts and patterns (Level 1, four weeks)
Technique or styling
Improver patterns and themes (Level 2/3)
During our rolling four week Level 1 class, you'll learn the first five patterns, some variations and a serious dose of technique. You can come along any week as the cycle repeats, so you can catch any missed weeks the next time around.
As you progress to Level 2/3, you’ll develop technique for lead and follow, gain confidence in the rhythm of the dance and expand your repertoire. You’ll develop musicality along the way in a relaxed setting.
The evening is very sociable and all about enjoyment, making connections to the dance, to the music and to each other.
Social
On your first night, you can join our WhatsApp group which is where we'll chat, post events to attend and inspirational videos of the top international pros.
