PROGRAMS & THINGS TO KNOW:
BYOB = Bring Your Own Beginner
This is an ongoing program geared to inspire all of us who love this dance to share it with our non-dance friends. Basically bring friends who haven't really danced WCS before, have them take the beginner class and let us know when you check in. We'll comp them in and put your name on our guest list for a future Blackout. Next time you're checking in, just let them know that you're on the guest list, and you're good to go. So spread your passion of WCS with your world!
BLACKOUT SPOTLIGHT STRICTLY:
Every other Blackout, we host our famous Spotlight Strictly! It's free and is simply a small demo, for you all to have an opportunity to get some spotlight dance experience. To perform for your friends and for all of us to cheer YOU on! Level of dance doesn't matter! It's an opportunity to practice your improvised dancing in a spotlight scenario! Contact Brian for details and let's have fun! Only 10 Spots Available, and Spotlight starts at 10pm sharp! We post a sign up sheet each time to our page... so sign up, before Friday night with a partner and let's have fun!
FREE Beginner Class Every Week it's held!!!
FREE Entry for 1st timers @ Blackout Friday
Student Discounts!
Our Mission:
We want to inspire, grow, dance, and teach West Coast Swing. Please help us make Black Out Fridays a night of dancing that LA can be proud of! Our classes are designed to be fun, educational, fresh, and taught by instructors that either teach, compete, or judge at the top level in the world!
