Ring in the New Year with a New Style of Dance!
How many times have you seen some people dancing and you told yourself that you wanted to enjoy moving to music like that too? Resolve to finally learn to dance in 2019! Enjoy the physical movement of dancing, the social opportunities it provides, and the mental activity of learning how to dance West Coast Swing. Join us for learning the foundations of West Coast Swing and see why it's so fun and growing globally.
What is West Coast Swing? It is a modern lead-follow social dance that evolved from Lindy Hop and has been influenced by Ballroom, Hustle, Country Western, Ballet, Lyrical, Hip Hop and more, and combines the best techniques from each into one sexy, smooth, and sophisticated partner dance. It is danced to a wide range of music, so anyone can dance to music they like to listen to.
Wear comfortable clothes and bring a pair of dry, indoor, non-skid shoes! First time dancers are encouraged to come! NO PARTNER NECESSARY. By that we mean you do not need to come with a partner to learn this partner dance. Learning to dance is a social activity. You will change partners and meet new people in our classes.

BWestie began to share West Coast Swing (WCS) in Vermont 8 years ago. It's students and community members have brought WCS to new places as they have spread out and have competed regionally, nationally, and internationally. Anyone can learn either role (leading or following) in our classes and all of our instructors dance both roles.
