Let us introduce you to West Coast Swing Dancing – an improvised dance you’ve seen on social media!
In this 4-week progressive series, we’ll cover four basic patterns and the fundamental skills you’ll need to do them. This stretchy dance originated with Lindy Hop Swing but no longer bounces, and is danced mainly to R&B, Top-40 and Blues.
There’s a 30-minute practice included before class for you to warmup. Also, we co-host a monthly social where you can attend to practice your skills.
If you want to check it out, there are free Waterfront Socials happening (weather dependent) 7-9pm on Aug. 28 & Sep 4th at Queens’s Marque Stairs, and Sept 1 & 8th behind 1223 Lower Water St. We’ll show you some basics so you can try it out and dance with us!
Only $45 per person is a real deal, compared to the usual rate for dance classes. To register, email us with your preference to Lead or Follow at info@halifaxwcs.ca. We’ll reply with eTransfer instructions.
