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.
