Level 1 - Focus on Passes - 4 wk Series

Service Description

Beyond Basics: Level 1 turns fundamentals into a dance! Focus on pattern variations, smooth connection, and social skills. This series is designed for dancers who have completed our 4-week Basics course or have equivalent WCS experience. March Theme: Focus on Passes This month, we are breaking down the linear travel and rotational clarity needed to make your Left Side Passes and Underarm Turns feel effortless. We will focus on the connection and redirection required to move smoothly past your partner while expanding your repertoire with creative variations and turn techniques. Tighten the Basics: Clean up footwork and timing for a rock-solid foundation on your passes and turns. Explore Pattern Options: Learn to transition in and out of side passes and rotations with seamless flow. Add Your Own Flair: Styling options for both Leads and Follows to personalize your travel and turns. 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 – Level 1 Core Class: Our progressive 4-week themed curriculum. 7:30 PM – Social Dance: The best way to practice your new patterns in a fun, real-world setting!
