West Coast Swing 

West Coast Swing 2026 dates to be confirmed. 

The beginner and improvers workshops will take you through the fundamentals, moving on to the elements that make West Coast Swing so special:

- Style and Versatility

- Lead and Follow

- Rhythms and Patterns

- Social Dance Focus

The cost is £20 per person or £35 per lead/follow balanced couple.

Please contact Dawn by email to dancecardevents@gmail.com, via text (07916 950089) or via the contact form on Dance Card Events website to book.

The sessions will cover the elements of the dance that you will need to master. It will be fashioned specifically at those who book, with the intention of drilling our fundamentals, practice time, and thinking about the things we can work on to improve our dance. 

In the second and third workshop, we will work at a higher level with experienced dancers, introducing characteristics, moves and styling intended to jazz up the impression you make on the dance floor. 

At the same time, beginners will work on their basic moves, with guidance on exercises to do at home to improve skills and perfect what you have learnt. We will focus on maintaining a connection between partners through tension and compression, allowing for dynamic and fluid movements.

The aim is to have a balance of leads and follows and to encourage people to book as a pair, though this is not a requirement.
