Wednesday night's alright for dancing, get a little West Coast in!
West Coast Swing, or Modern Swing, is a popular partner dance that's known for its smooth, stylish moves, and its emphasis on improvisation and connection between partners. It has an elastic look created through smooth movement and can be danced to a WIDE variety of music! You may have seen videos of it on TikTok and Instagram! If you're looking to meet new people and have fun doing it, come join us on Wednesday nights at First Baptist Church's Lee Room (entrance towards back of church, down the sidewalk between the building and a playground) 111 Park Ave Worcester, MA... right at the corner of Park Ave and Salisbury St., steps off WPI's campus, and across from Institute Park and the American Antiquarian Society.
These beginner West Coast Swing classes will cover the basic patterns, technique and styling points of the dance. A really cool thing about West Coast Swing is how it builds. SO MUCH of the dance beyond the basics builds off the basics, putting them together in new and interesting ways. We'll see this in later intermediate classes 🙂
$10 for beginner classes
Intermediate classes to begin at a later date - stay tuned!
While we won't be doing anything incredibly athletic and acrobatic like the flips you might see on DWTS, make sure you wear comfortable clothes for dancing in, and shoes that will securely stay on your feet. For safety, please no sandals or flip-flops! Sneakers or flat dress shoes are fine (we'll talk more about shoes in class).
No dance experience needed for Beginner class!
No partner is needed, but this is always more fun with friends, so bring someone you think would enjoy dancing with us!
