In this scaffolded 6-week series, participants will learn the 5 fundamental patterns of West Coast Swing. Each week's lesson builds a foundation for the next week's class.

Every week, we'll dive ever deeper into connection, which is crucial for partnered dances. In addition to the 45-minute class, registration also covers a 30-minute social dance/practice lab from 7:00 - 7:30 pm.

Come with a partner, or come by yourself -- since this is a social dance we rotate through partners while learning patterns and connection techniques. When you register you will be asked to indicate Lead, Follow, or a Lead-Follow couple. Please stick to this role for the duration of the 6-week course. West Coast Swing is a dance where roles (lead or follow) are not tied to gender. Any human and lead. Any human can follow. As the name implies, a Lead will typically lead the patterns learned and a Follow will reciprocate. This dynamic can flip as skills advance the beyond the basics.
