West Coast Swing with Anne Fleming
Privates, Workshops, and Dance
Saturday, August 19, 2023
Norwalk, CT
Anne was such a hit in January, that we've invited her back!! I feel so lucky that Anne is coming back to teach our Connecticut community. She has a wealth of information, she is kind, she is patient, and she is fun. I know you're going to love all that Anne has to offer.
I have known Anne Fleming for almost my entire 26-year journey in West Coast Swing. She was the friendly dancer that I would see any time that I went to the New England area for a dance event. Anne and I rose through the ranks of the West Coast Swing world together. We even drew each other in Jack & Jills (random-partnered competitions), making us an odd pairing, because, you see, Anne was one of the tallest followers in the All-Star division, and I was one of the shortest leaders. Nonetheless, we both understood West Coast Swing and trusted each other deeply. The last time we were randomly selected to dance with each other, we placed first (see below).
While I have loved dancing competitively with Anne, I have admired how she has developed as a teacher. Anne makes West Coast Swing fun and humorous for every student. She breaks things down in ways that makes challenging moves seem easy. I feel so honored that our dancers are going to experience Anne's enjoyable approach to West Coast Swing again.

This is a great workshop for dancers to learn that basics can be creative and exciting. This is an excellent way to begin the transition from the beginner dancer to the intermediate dancer.

The whip is one of the most powerful moves in West Coast Swing because it can have different entries and exits. Get ready to be blown away with how many new amalgamations you'll learn.
