What we’re about
West Coast Swing is a fantastic dance style! It’s so versatile, allowing dancers to incorporate their own flair while maintaining a strong connection with their partner and the music. One of the unique aspects of West Coast Swing is its emphasis on improvisation, which keeps it fresh and exciting each time you dance.
It can be danced to a wide range of music genres, from pop to blues, making it a great choice for almost any musical setting.
Another thing that makes West Coast Swing special is how accessible it is to beginners, yet it offers plenty of room for growth as dancers develop more advanced techniques and styling. Whether you're looking to dance casually or take your skills to a competitive level, West Coast Swing is an incredible way to meet new people, get active, and express yourself.
