Class Descriptions

Level 101 – Fridays 7:30pm

Led by Kat Tan (Next series starts Sept 4th).

Get started learning West Coast Swing with our 101 class. This 6-class series will cover all of the basics and fundamentals, to have a solid understanding of WCS. You are welcome to join at any time, but it is encouraged to take the entire series before progressing into our 201 class.

No partner or experience needed.

> Moving up to 201

Our learning recommendation is to complete a full series (6-classes) before moving into Level 201.

Level 201 – 6:30pm

Led by Galen Chen (Next series starts Sept 4th).

Level up your West Coast Swing skills while meeting other people in the community! Now that you know the basics from 101, come to the 201 class to expand your dance toolkit with your peers and learn the concepts that make WCS fun and easy. We’ll cover ways to adapt and succeed with different partners, technique to smoothly add variations to the basic patterns, and how to get more creative with the music.

Prerequisites:

• You should be comfortable dancing the basic patterns taught in our 101 class (left side pass, right side pass, sugar push/tuck, whip).
• You can count west coast swing music and start on time, understand and can demonstrate the connection within west coast swing at an introductory level, and make basic adaptations for your partners movements.

> Moving up to Level 3

Our learning recommendation is to take the 201 Class for 6 cycles (about 12 months).

*SPECIAL* Choreo Class [Level 201+] – 7:30pm

Prerequisite: Should be comfortable with Level 201 patterns (recommended to have at least a few months of the Level 201 class).
