This special event is featuring two of the elusive extremes of West Coast Swing—blues and groove—and will be co-taught my Erik Novoa and Marine Fabre. While it is easiest to dance West Coast Swing to moderate-tempo pop music, many dancers are often challenged when they hear blues (with a strong swing rhythm) and groovy contemporary music (with a weak rhythmic structure). The last workshop of the evening will keep your swing knowledge up-to-date with some of the most prominent moves of 2026. Online pre-registration is required:
