My Roots Dance Studio · Las Vegas, NV***
From today's pop to vintage blues, country rock to modern hip hop, and all the genres in between - West Coast Swing is the partner dance for your playlist.
Unlike most partner dance styles, West Coast Swing wasn't danced for a specific era or genre of music. The dance was formed alongside American popular music and kept evolving with it.
The songs you grew up with on the radio, the hits from today's top stars, the playlist you made last week, they all work!West Coast Swing 101 is a weekly drop-in class covering the foundations of the dance. Every Wednesday, we'll focus on finding the groove, connecting with a partner, and building the patterns and vocabulary that make West Coast Swing the most versatile partner dance around.
You don't need to have a partner to join! We rotate partners so you'll work with everyone in the room before the night is over.
No experience is required! If you can find the beat in a song you like, you're already closer than you think, and if you can't find the beat, well...that's what class is for. Remember, life is to sort to dance off beat!
Meetup members attend their first class free. Just show up, introduce yourself, and we'll get you on the floor.
Mark yourself as going and we'll see you Wednesday.This class features Michelle Dwyer, a West Coast Swing dancer and instructor with over 15 years on the floor and nearly a decade of teaching experience. Professor Jitterbug, a.k.a. Nick Peterson, will be there every week as well, helping to connect the modern-era of the dance with the dancers and ideas from its 75+ year history.
