Would you like to meet new people? Do you want to learn to improve your West Coast Swing dancing? Then come join this fun, welcoming group at the West Coast Swing Addicts Dance!

Note: The beginner lessons are on the first Friday of the month. This lesson is for people who have some familiarity with West Coast Swing.

**Beyond Basics West Coast Swing Lesson: 7:30 PM**
**Social dancing: 8:30 PM**

**Who is this for:**
\- singles
\- couples
who want to learn how to dance (better) and to have a community of people to make it easier and more fun!

**Many people come alone, and no partner is needed. No previous west coast dance experience is required.**

**What to expect:**
During the lessons, most people rotate partners. This can make it easier even for couples to learn how to dance. One reason is that you will get to dance with people at various levels of experience, including people with more experience than your partner.

A big bonus? After dancing with several people in the lesson, you will have met quite a few people. That makes it much easier to get on the dance floor afterward.

How many people will be there:
Our Meetup is only a small number of the total who attend. The dances are quite popular and many nights there are around 100 people who attend over the course of the evening. The most experienced dancers often skip the lesson.

We are passionate about helping dancers meet people and become part of the West Coast Swing Addicts dance community! Come and find us around the Meetup tables and we'll introduce you to new friends. This is a very social group where you can comfortably ask anyone to dance. As organizers, our objective is to ease your transition from brand new, to feeling comfortable and having lots of people to dance with!

**What to wear:**
For West Coast Swing, a non-stick sole for your shoe is best. Don't worry if you don't own dance shoes, but avoid rubber because it can stick when you do the turns. Toms brand shoes work great and are affordable. If you prefer a heel, low heels are best. When you're just trying it out, some simple slip-on flats will be most comfortable.

Most people dress fairly casually. A nice pair of jeans and a buttonup shirt is common for men. Some women will wear a dress or a skirt and most will also wear jeans and a nice shirt.

**Type of dancing you can do:**
After the lesson, most of the dances will be suitable for West Coast swing. A few songs will be played that are suitable to two-step, and often, we do a line dance, e.g., to Shivers by Ed Sheeran.

**Cost:**
The West Coast Swing Addicts rents the hall and puts on the dances that the Just Dance Meetup group attends. They charge $10.00 for the lesson and the dance. Debit accepted. We don't charge for the work we do organizing this Meetup group.
