West Coast Swing is a modern take on a version of Swing that is danced to current music you hear played on the radio and in the clubs. It is an educated lead and follow that is a conversation between the lead and follow, and which is danced "on the slot".
West Coast Swing can even incorporate other dance styles and moves, and both leaders and followers have more ability to express themselves in different ways than in most other dances. Hip Hop, Latin, Tango and many other styles of dance can influence West Coast Swing movement.
These classes are for dancers who are new to dancing or at a beginner level, as well as those who know their basics and want to level them up!
Our focus will be on learning the basic steps, how to move them, how to lead and follow, and the techniques we use to make even our basics feel amazing! Even intermediate and advanced dancers benefit from recapping basic technique and style of movement to incorporate into their dancing!
Everyone is welcome to attend :-)
We support degendering in dance, so you can dance whichever role you choose: Lead or Follow.
Across Australia and the world, dance scenes are embracing that first and foremost we are ALL just dancers... enjoying social interactions and our love of music interpreted through movement.
Dancers are also embracing that knowing BOTH sides of any partner dance, makes your dancing better!
