You can dance West Coast Swing to Top 40, Blues, R n' B, Big Band, Country - You name it!
6 - 6:55pm Essential Foundation Skills for WCS will focus on the root movements of the dance and build your foundation skills (starter step, side passes, tucks, and whips, using slick hand changes and hand switches to create new and fun patterns). This class is appropriate for both beginners and intermediate/advanced students wishing to hone their skills and will setup the material provided in the Beyond The Basics class. 7 - 7:55pm Beyond The Basics will focus on expanding your current repertoire and dance vocabulary with a combination of fun moves that can be easily lead in a social dance setting. It will build on shaping the basics, introducing moves with several different exits to promote lead and follow, anchor variations, styling, follows' invitational play, changing the rhythm of the dance, and so much more! Considerable time will be spent on understanding how the moves work (not just the steps), so that you will know how to lead or follow it with any dancer you meet and not just the people from your class. Prerequisite: Completion of the 4 week series Essential Foundation Skills for WCS class or instructor approval. |
