Basics Bootcamp
Everything You Need to Social Dance West Coast Swing Comfortably
The Basics Bootcamp is designed to help you feel relaxed and successful on the social dance floor. This class is ideal for newcomers and beginners, as well as dancers who have been dancing for up to a year and want stronger fundamentals. You’ll focus on the core patterns and skills used in nearly every West Coast Swing dance, including passes, footwork, sugar pushes, starters, baskets, and whips. Rather than memorizing moves, this workshop helps you understand how West Coast Swing works -connection, timing, and movement- so you can dance comfortably with a wide variety of partners and feel confident joining social dances.
Intermediate Workshops
Expanding Your Basics with Confidence, Musicality, and Variety
The Intermediate workshops are for dancers who know the basics of West Coast Swing and are ready to do more with them. These classes focus on improving confidence, flow, footwork, musical adaptability, and movement choices, rather than teaching long or complicated patterns. You’ll learn how to add styling to your basics, adapt your dancing to different styles of music beyond blues, and explore direction changes that take your dancing off the slot while maintaining connection and comfort. These workshops are especially valuable for dancers who have been dancing for years but feel limited to basic patterns and want their dancing to feel more expressive, musical, and playful.
Intensive
Physical Communication,
Partner Matching & Skill Refinement for the Social Floor
These limited-size workshops are designed for experienced West Coast Swing dancers who want to improve how they work with a variety of partners on the social floor. With balanced registration and a smaller group, you’ll get more individualized feedback and more opportunities to refine your dancing in real time.
The focus is on developing the ability to match your partner—learning how to physically read timing, tone, and movement, and respond in a way that feels clear, comfortable, and natural for both people. Rather than relying on memorized patterns or forcing movement, you’ll work on creating a shared understanding through consistent, responsive partnering.
These sessions are ideal for dancers who already know the basics but want to feel more confident, adaptable, and grounded when dancing with a wide range of partners—making their dancing feel smoother, more connected (without the buzzword), and more enjoyable.
