FAQs:<h4>What is West Coast Swing?</h4>
  • 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!


<h4>Do I need a partner?</h4>
  • 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.


<h4>What do I need to bring?</h4>
  • 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.


<h4>But I have two left feet/can't dance/suck at dancing!</h4>
  • No such thing. ;) You just haven't found the right teacher/dance style yet.


<h4>What's your mask and vaxx policy?</h4>
  • See policies section.
