What is West Coast Swing? It is a dance similar to Jive and East Coast Swing, but slower. It is one of the most practically useful dances, as it can be danced to popular music quite often played at parties and weddings. For example: Shania Twain - Man I feel like a woman Tina Turner - We do not need another hero U2 - I still have not found what I am looking for Guys: Girls love to dance with good dancers and will always choose the best leaders. It is worth an effort to become one!

Our classes do not include any acrobatics, nevertheless we take inspiration from the US Open Showcase Champions Benji Schwimmer & Heidi Groskreutz

All welcome! No need to bring a partner We operate a fair partner swap system, so even if there is uneven number of guys and girls the time you would wait for your turn would be minimal. Any couples who want to dance together all night can of course opt out from partner swapping. The second class will not be fundamentally more difficult then the first class at and it does not require any previous dance experience. Even if you are a complete beginner you can surely take both classes! We will concentrate on teaching you how to lead, follow and improvise (rather than memorise long routines) so you will be able to dance with any other partner as long as you both stick to the rules. Dress code: There is no dress code as such, but I strongly suggest wearing comfortable shoes, however not trainers (trainers will stick to the floor too much). Girls: wear court shoes or sandals. Something on heels always looks better than flat shoes, but do not go on very high heels that would limit your ability to move. Wear a comfortable top, preferably not a jumper. Remember you might sweat a little, so cotton is a good idea. I would prefer to see girls in skirts rather than trousers, just because it looks better during the dancing. If in doubt think "Latino": do not look scruffy, but do not go too smart either.
