The magical and mysterious world of WCS choreography, typically reserved for the more intense among us, is opening up its doors once more for a sneak peek 🫣 Come dip your toes into the choreography side of WCS with a mini-routine from local legends Saya Suzaki & Roberto Corporan! You’ll spend two focused hours learning how to perform every step with confidence, grace, and technical skill, then strut your stuff to a wildly-cheering audience!A PARTNER IS REQUIRED FOR THE MINI-ROUTINE- THIS IS A NON-ROTATING CLASS. We will offer a limited number of single dancer registrations to be randomly matched with one another. Participants must demonstrate fluid recall of left side pass, underarm turn, push break, tuck, basic whip, and inside and outside turns to successfully access the class material.
New to west coast swing? No partner, no previous experience- no problem. We’ve got a beginner class just for you that will take you from zero to dance hero in one hour flat!
We have residential neighbors at this venue who appreciate their sleep and their resident-only parking spots. Please monitor your volume outside of the venue and take care not to park in marked resident spots or on the left-hand side of the garage (the right side is safe after the hours posted on the signs).

ABOUT SAYA & ROBERTO
Saya began dancing at age 4 - in many dance forms starting from ballet, modern jazz, musical theater. She found her love for Hip-Hop when she was 11 and then Ballroom (American smooth/rhythm) later on. She discovered West Coast Swing in 2013. Born in Tokyo, moved to Munich at age 11, and to the U.S. at age 19. She fell in love with WCS because of the uniqueness of being able to combine partner dancing and solo dancing. Saya has been fortunate enough to be trained by many top champions and continues to work harder. She wants to give back to the community by sharing her love and knowledge. Saya is quick to adjust and adapt to different ways each student learns. She can be tough, but she is always honest and will push you to continue to strive for the next level. Her favorite thing to say about WCS is "When you dance WCS, be present, focus on yourself, the partnership, and the music because it cannot be recreated again".
Roberto began dancing at age 8 and has been dancing many dance forms such as hip hop, line dancing, and ballroom. He fell in love with WCS almost 15 years ago. He is highly regarded for his smoothness, musicality, and isolations. He loves being able to create with his partners and incorporate his solo dancing background. Roberto is compassionate and hears all the micro musicality. He is the frame in the partner dancing, and understands how to be there for his partner.
