Intermediate West Coast Swing: If you've been through the beginning classes and/or or have a good handle on your West Coast Swing basics, this class is for you. This level contains the upper level patterns and techniques. Here you will become more comfortable with the dance, more in control of your own body, and a better leader/follwer for your partner.
Beginning West Coast Swing: Beginning West Coast Swing is the perfect starting point for dance lessons. Each pattern is broken down into two-beat increments. This class is simple enough for absolute beginners, but still incorporates the techniques to make them look smooth. You can be a beginner, but you'll never have to look like one! The most musically versatile of all swing styles, West Coast Swing may be danced to pop, blues, R&B, oldies, Jazz, hip-hop, classic rock, and more. This ain't your grandma's swing!
Night Club 2 Step: Night Club 2 Step is an elegant ballroom dance. Its beautiful flow and simple basic step have made it very popular at weddings. This class is perfect for both beginners and people who know the dance but want to learn more about how to make their dancing look and feel amazing. Basic and upper level techniques/patterns are incorporated into the class to have you out on the floor looking smooth in no time.
