WEEKLY DANCE SCHEDULE
Tuesdays, Wednesdays

Beginners
(Series begins the first week of the month)
We start from the tippy-top and break down every step of the fundamentals of  West Coast Swing/Hustle/Salsa.  It is perfect if  you have never tried partner dancing before or if you've decided to learn the opposite role.  You're never too good to learn it right.  

The beginner series usually starts the first week of the month for four weeks.  New beginners are encouraged to begin the first two weeks.
No experience required.  No partner required.

Many people take the beginner series (4 classes over 4 weeks) at least twice so that they feel comfortable and fluid with the basic vocabulary.
 

Intermediates
(Not a series; each class is its own)
Once you've got the basics, it's time to build your vocabulary. Plenty of social lead/follow patterns with a strong emphasis on technique.  Choreography will be used to help illustrate musicality and repetitive motion.

Pre-requisites:  Leaders and Followers must be comfortable with the Basic vocabulary of the dance (for WCS: a Push Break, Sugar Push, Right Pass, Underarm Pass, Left Pass, Basic Tuck, Progressive Tuck, Whip, Whip with a Double Outside Turn, Anchor Step etc).  Attendees must also be able to do the basic vocabulary without holding back the general momentum of the class.  No partner required.
 

What to Expect: Lessons are taught in the manner of a professional dance class.  Since partners are not required, attendees are rotated so that everyone gets to enjoy the learning process (which is customary in the learning process of social and partner dances).  If it's your first time, it will be challenging...because learning something new can be ....new.  Smile, relax, say hello to the people around you and welcome to our dance community.
