Vil du lære West Coast Swing, så er her chancen! Deltag i vores weekend workshop for begyndere, hvor du lærer de basale trin i dansen (passes, pushes, tucks og whip). Du vil opnå en forståelse for dansens opbygning, hvordan man danser til musikken, samt basal lead/follow kommunikation. Der vil være undervisning tre timer begge dage, inklusive pauser.
Efter kurset er du klædt på til at deltage i vores ugekurser hver torsdag, hvor vi arbejder videre med musikforståelse, styling med mere.
Undervisningen foregår på dansk eller engelsk efter behov.
Vi roterer undervejs så du lærer at danse med alle på holdet. Bemærk at man skal deltage begge dage 🙂
