This follow-up to WCS Basics spans 16 weeks, offered in rolling 4 week sessions. Each session is independent of the others, so you can join the class at the start of any month.
Each monthly session will feature the same format of four classes with each having an overarching theme. Most classes expand on fundamental concepts through more advanced patterns/variations that are common on the social dance floor. Example:
Week 1: Variations on typical connection/rhythm (rock and go, slingshot)
Week 2: Rotation management (multiple follower turns, hammerlocks)
Week 3: Common whip variations (adding turns, whips without closed position)
Week 4: Musicality topics (adding pulse, handling swung rhythms)
No partner required, but you must have completed West Coast Swing Basics or equivalent. If you’re not sure, ask us!
