Join us for an evening of west coast swing! We will be teaching a crash-course introductory lesson followed by an evening of social dancing! Anyone who has never danced west coast swing before OR is *bringing* a person who has never danced before gets in ABSOLUTELY FREE!
West coast swing is a partnered dance with its origins in Lindy Hop and other "classic" swing dances, but has evolved to fit the most popular style of music throughout the years. As such, it is a living, breathing dance, and is constantly changing! The dance is very improvisation-heavy and encouraging of musical expression, so there is no "one right way to do west coast swing" - at its heart it remains a light-hearted way of connecting to the music with another human being through movement. This is the ethos that Katie and Lorne like to instill in all their classes, and we can't wait to share it with you this evening!
If you are attending the lesson, please show up 5-15 minutes ahead of time. Only slippery non-marking shoes, or socks, will be allowed.
Location: SecondAct Studios, 205A Pacific Ave (big studio)
Time: 7:30 - 8:30 pm (Lesson), 8:30 - 10:30 pm (social dance)
