Do you want to learn a partner dance that can be danced to a wide variety of music, everything from pop, blues, RnB, hip-hop to jazz and more? Then West Coast Swing is the perfect dance for you! A relatively new dance here in Sweden, which is becoming more and more popular. The dance has a rich history in the US, especially in California, where it is the official state dance. West Coast Swing is a modern swing dance with soft movements and a relaxed feeling, it’s fun and playful and musical and leaves a lot of room for improvisation, especially for followers.
This intensive course will give you a head start into dancing West Coast Swing. We will go through the basics of the dance so that you have a good basis for starting social dancing and attending further courses.
This course is a good foundation if you want to attend a beginner’s class later on.
We finish the day with one hour of practice followed by four hours of social dance. We will play music so you can test out your new skills and you’re welcome to ask questions if you need help with anything.
The course will be held in English.
