Our Classes
Fundamentals of West Coast Swing
Thursdays @ 6:00pm
It all starts here! Our Fundamentals class will introduce you to the foundations of West Coast Swing, covering all of the essential elements of the dance in a rotating three-month curriculum. This class is suitable for complete beginners with no prior dance practice, as well as for experienced dancers looking to get started in a new style.
West Coast Swing Evolution
Wednesdays @ 6:00pm
This is the next step after our Fundamentals class. After the practice period, we teach an intermediate-level class covering a wide array of topics, including individual dance technique, partnership and connection, and musicality. Students should be confident in their ability to dance their West Coast basics to music before attending this class.
Special Topics
Wednesdays @ 5:30pm
Members of our Special Topics Program have access to a 30 min continuing-education class intended to deepen their personal movement skills, improving their ability to present themselves with confidence and authority both within our local dance community and beyond. These special topics include styling, TA, Teacher Sessions, and Partnership.

Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve never danced before. Is West Coast Swing a good style to start with?
Yes! West Coast is a deeply rewarding style, with years of learning and practice in store for you. But you don’t need years of experience to start having fun! West Coast is most notable for its versatility, and after just your first month of classes, you’ll be ready and able to dance to many of the popular songs you listen to every day.
Do I need to buy special shoes to attend your classes?
Not until you want to! That said, we recommend that you avoid wearing shoes with high-traction soles like rubber. You’ll want to be able to turn in place easily, without twisting your ankles.
Do I need to bring a partner to class?
Nope! You’re more than welcome to attend classes by yourself. We rotate partners during class to ensure that everyone learns together.
How much do classes cost, and where are you located?
Our Fundamentals program is $20 per class or $70 for the month of four classes.
Our Evolution classes are $10 per 1 hour session, $5 for 30min session, or $60 for a month of four classes. We teach classes at our dance studio inside Huntsville West. Check out our registration page to learn how to find us!
