Service Description

Start your journey! Learn the 6-count and 8-count rhythms and core patterns of West Coast Swing in a fun, supportive setting. This series is designed to give you a complete night of dancing every Wednesday. Your Series Includes: 5:45 PM – Open Floor OR Deep Dive: Get early access to the floor for self-guided practice or the Deep Dive. * Open Floor (suggested for first timers): Use the floor for self-guided practice to drill patterns, refine connection, and build muscle memory at your own pace. * Deep Dive: A focused technical space for West Coast Swing dancers to nerd out on mechanics, refine styling, and engage in deeper discussion about the dance. 6:30 PM – Core Basics Class: Our structured 4-week curriculum to get you moving with confidence. 7:30 PM – Social Dance: The "main event" where you apply what you've learned in a real social setting. The Details: Registration: Your $80 registration covers all four weeks of the series, including the practice hour and social dance. Lead, Follow, and Inclusivity: West Coast Swing is a social dance where roles are not tied to gender—any human can lead, and any human can follow. When you register, you will be asked to choose a role. To help us maintain a balanced class, please stick to this role for the duration of the 4-week course. No Partner Needed: We rotate partners during class to build social connection and better technique. Age & Eligibility: Participants must be 18+. (For younger teens, please email us regarding our minor policy). Scaffolded Learning: Because this curriculum builds week-to-week, drop-ins cannot be accommodated. Please see our "No Roll-Forward" policy regarding absences. Discounts: Student and military discounts are available. Email mail@westslopewesties.com before registering for your code.
