West Coast Swing

What I bring to others within my private lessons and workshops is the ability to feel good about themselves and bring joy to their own dancing, which then positively impacts their partners.  Most workshops give dancers set moves and syncopations, but very little information on how to improve their dance skills.

What is Out of the Ordinary about my information is that dancers instead learn the elements of dance, within the framework of west coast swing, and acquire dance skill ‘pieces’ they can layer in at any time, in any dance, with any partner.

When dancers receive this type of information from me, they walk away with specific dance skills that improve what they do and how they look on the dance floor – and they ultimately feel better about themselves and have more fun with their partners and their own dancing!

What is West Coast Swing?

West Coast Swing is just one of many forms of swing dancing performed in the world.  It evolved from the jitterbug and lindy hop:  As those partner dances moved west across the United States and landed on the west coast, the music there was more bluesy and the clubs more small and narrow.  As a result, the dance morphed into a ‘slotted’ linear form of swing dance performed to slower blues/R&B type music.  Search “West Coast Swing” on YouTube and you’ll find many live examples – here are some of my favorites:
