Are you Interested In West Coast Swing?
What Is West Coast Swing?
West Coast Swing (WCS) is partner dance done to a wide variety of music (contemporary and classic Pop, R&B, Funk, Blues and more) with easy-going vibes. You can choose to Lead or Follow (and some people switch!) no matter your gender, and both partners will have the opportunity to express themselves. What you will see on the dance floor is improvisation inspired by the music, within a basic structure, which allows us to create unique moments together.
And triple steps. Don’t forget the triple steps.
Is This For Me?
You can dive as deep into this dance as you want. Be it someone who enjoys social dancing occasionally, is passionate about learning, or is interested in moving through competition ranks - all are welcome. All ages are welcome, all genders are welcome, all body shapes are welcome.
Most of us are just humans who love to move and groove with the music, and connect with other humans with similar affinity. A lot of us are introverts who found community and friendships in this space.
