Come join us for a night of dancing. West Coast Swing is a fairly new and upcoming dance. It is basically freestyle dancing, but with a partner. It is one of the only dances that the follower can take the lead at any time and then give it back to the leader. The is so much improvisation in the dance which makes each dance unique to your partner and the music. Everyone dances with everyone, so you do not need a partner at all!!! The basis for West Coast Swing is you don’t know what the music is going to be and you don’t know who you are going to dance with and you have to figure it out together. You have probably seen West Coast Swing since it is all over Tic Toc and UTube. We dance to all types music including today’s music.
We are dancing on Tuesday nights at the First Congregational church in East Hartford. There is a beginner lesson at 7:15, and an intermediate lesson at 8:00. The dance is from 8:45 to 10:30.
The cost is 15$ for the lessons and the dance or 10$ just for the dance.
If you are new to West Coast Swing, I would recommend taking the beginner class at 7:15. Then there is a private instructor that will work with you during the intermediate class to help people learn the basics of the dance. The private instructor will tell you when you should be ready for the intermediate class.
