West Coast Swing

In West Coast Swing classes, one learns a modern partner dance characterized by free, 'sliding' movement and strong partner connection. Participants develop coordination, musicality, balance, and the ability to improvise, adapting to music of various tempos and styles. During classes, great attention is given to leading and following technique, movement in a slot, body isolation, and smooth transitions between figures. The dance allows creative interpretation of music and constant changing of movement combinations. Classes encourage self-confidence, flexibility in dancing with different partners, and provide a sense of freedom in a social, improvisational dance.
