December is West Coast Swing Month!

Learn this sexy and sophisticated version of swing. Los Angeles gave birth to the West Coast Swing in the 1940s to go with some of the slower, more sensual swing-rhythm music. You will enjoy the playful, mischievous styling of this dance. Daniel will be focusing on the beginner and intermediate dancer for this class. Bring a friend or we will match you up with a dance partner. Everyone is welcome!

$40 for four classes (per person)
$15 for a drop in (per person)

For a great example of West Coast Swing,
