reinforce the basics. At 9pm the intermediate class
teaches you challenging moves, styling, and more advanced
techniques, taught at a quicker pace.

in advance - just turn up at 8pm.
West Coast Swing
is a sophisticated dance style that
is HUGE in the USA, and is now very popular all over the
UK. It is fluid, expressive and funky, check out some
video
clips.
Its appeal is to both those wishing to learn how to dance, and also those
who have tried salsa, swing or ceroc and are looking for something
different. Danced to
R&B, pop, swing and soul, West Coast Swing has simple footwork,
slinky body movements, and a cool, relaxed style.
