West Coast Swing in Norwalk, CT on Sept 3, 2015

Our West Coast Swing classes in Norwalk, CT are still growing. Our Week 1 class on Thursday, September 3, 2015 was attended by 37 dancers, of which 13 were newcomers to West Coast Swing. Our regular dancers attend the beginner class to continuously improve their basic knowledge (a true dancer never graduates from a beginner class) and to warm up for the Intermediate/Advanced class afterwards.

West Coast Swing at Dance Dimensions in Norwalk, CT - August 20, 2015

West Coast Swing in Norwalk, CT on August 20, 2015We had 30 dancers in the West Coast Swing beginner class in Norwalk, CT on August 20, 2015. This was wonderful because it was a Week 3 (of a 4 week series). There is a lot of momentum building in our dance classes. Our Intermediate class also had 30 people and our dance was attended by over 50 people. This is definitely one of the best West Coast Swing scenes in Connecticut.

Bruce and Megan show how fun West Coast Swing can be....and this was just during the class on Thurs, Dec 17.

Come join us or tell your friends.  January 2010 is going to be off the charts.

 



Hustle is the most dynamic dance of the dance-family.  Tuesday Hustle on Dec 8, 2009 is still representing this fierce dance.  It's a great dance to have fun, get in shape and meet a bunch of new people.

Pictures 2008


It's hard to know on which night to go to dance in Norwalk....especially with a dance as fierce as Hustle!  Our last dance of 2008 on Tues, Dec 30 had 30 hard core dancers and our guest instructor Steve Neeren from NYC. 


Well - That's it!  2008 is over.  But, 2009 is going to make last year look like a practice party.  See you there!



Over 30 dancers tore the roof off of Rhythm in Norwalk on Monday night, Dec 29 (yes, Monday) when West Coast Swing and Open Mic night came together.  The house band, The Bad Catz were a special treat for our dancers.
