Warm-up & Basics

Guided Practice

Open Social Dance

Start with foundational movements and some solo action

We break down patterns and techniques, rotating partners so everyone dances with each other.

Practice your new skills or just enjoy the music on an inclusive social floor with a diverse playlist.

Inclusive

Our community is a supportive environment where everyone can learn and grow, regardless of skill level

No Partner Needed

Casual Attire

Diverse Music

Our rotation structure ensures you'll dance with multiple partners throughout the evening, making it easy to drop in solo.

Wear comfortable clothing that allows for movement. Smooth-soled shoes are recommended for easier pivots and turns.

We play a wide range of genres suitable for West Coast Swing, from blues and R&B to pop and contemporary hits.

All dancers are encouraged to learn both lead and follow roles or choose their favorite

No advance registration is needed for our weekly practice sessions—just show up and join the fun.

The building is accessible- we do need notice for wheel chair users so that we can open the apropriate door
