Level 1 - Drop In
Strengthening your West Coast Swing foundation.
Service Description
Turn your fundamentals into a dance! Our Level 1 series is designed for dancers who have the basics under their belt and are ready to add texture, flow, and confidence to their social dancing. This drop-in option is perfect for experienced dancers who can’t commit to a full 4-week series but still want to sharpen their skills and learn new variations. What to Expect: Each month, we dive deep into a specific theme—ranging from connection mechanics to rhythmic variations—ensuring you walk away with tools you can use immediately on the social floor. Tighten the Basics: Clean up footwork and timing for a rock-solid, professional-looking foundation. Expand Your Repertoire: Learn seamless transitions and creative pattern variations based on the month's theme. Add Your Own Flair: Discover styling options for both Leads and Follows to make the dance truly yours. Note: As this is a Level 1 class, students should be comfortable with basic timing and fundamental patterns. What’s Included: 6:30 PM – Level 1 Core Class: Join the cohort for tonight's themed lesson. 7:30 PM – Social Dance: Stay and practice what you learned! The Details: Pricing: $25 per night (Includes Social Dance). (Save $20: Want the whole month? Select the "4-Week Series" option on our main booking page for $80 to get the best rate and full "Early Bird" floor access.) The Prerequisite: Dancers must have completed a 4-week Basics course or have equivalent WCS experience (comfortable with Sugar Push, Side Passes, and Whip). Registration: This booking is valid for your one selected date only. Lead, Follow, and Inclusivity: Roles are not tied to gender. Please select your role when registering to help us maintain class balance. The Fine Print: No partner needed. Participants must be 18+. No roll-forwards or refunds for missed drop-in dates.
