• West Coast Swing is a modern, ever-evolving partner dance that is characterized by its elastic movements and freedom for musicality and expression. It is danced to a huge range of music including funk, pop, RnB, hip hop, swing, blues, rock... and more!

• No partners necessary!
• WCS is a partner dance but we will be switching partners during the class so you'll get a chance to dance with everyone. (If you are not comfortable with switching partners and want to dance with just the person you came with, that's totally fine too! :)
• In fact, as long as you are comfortable with it, we highly encourage dancing with lots of different people because it helps you develop your own abilities to lead/follow.

• Indoor shoes! (Not outdoor shoes will be allowed in the studio.) Dance shoes, clean sneakers, and sock feet are fine.
• Water bottle.
• Mask (optional but HIGHLY recommended).
• Deodorant/change of shirt. (It might get warm!)
• No alcohol.

• No such thing. ;) You just haven't found the right teacher/dance style yet.

• See policies section.
