Beginner 2 'beyond beginner' 4-session progressive series

4-week Beginner 2 West Coast Swing progressive series with Kerry!

Continue your West Coast Swing journey with our 4-session Beginner 2 progressive series, designed to build on the fundamental 6- and 8-count patterns and skills learned in Beginner 1. In this series, you’ll expand your repertoire with fun new moves such as the tuck turn (sugar tuck), spinning side pass, right side pass with outside turn, and reverse whip. We’ll also introduce pattern variations, hand changes, extensions, and essential turning techniques that help make your dancing feel smoother, more dynamic, and even more enjoyable.

Pre-registration is required. Before joining Beginner 2, please be comfortable with the underarm turn (right side pass), left side pass, push break (sugar push), and basic whip. Get ready to level up your dancing with confidence and style!
