Explore running as usual! Beginner and All-Levels classes at 6:30pm and 7:30pm with the social dance following.*
This week will be right after a local WCS convention in SoCal, so it will be a week with higher covid risk. Please plan accordingly, and respect your own risk tolerance levels. We ask that anyone who attended the event take a rapid antigen test before coming to Explore. If you test positive, or are feeling under the weather in any way, please STAY HOME. Thank you!

Please let us know if you test positive after attending the dance so we can make an announcement (http://timkenny.dance/covid-report). More details in the Health Policy below.

***** Program Descriptions *****
**********************************
Open Practice Space - Come warm up and try things out! I'll be around to answer questions and give guidance if you want.
Beginner Class - For people getting started in West Coast Swing or who want to work on their fundamentals. A 4-week rotation of drop-in classes will cover the basics of WCS, with each individual week accessible to brand new folks! Each month we will approach the basics of WCS through one of three different lenses; Consistent Connection, Momentum, and Signaling. Over 4 weeks beginners will get a complete introduction to the basics from each self-contained month, and can keep coming back to practice or develop new understanding in subsequent months! We also highly encourage people to come who are already comfortable with basics who want to solidify their fundamentals, learn a new role, or revisit basics from a particular perspective.
All Levels Group Class - More typical West Coast Swing group class, with a balance of concepts and concrete application. A grasp of the six-count basics and the whip is recommended, no partner necessary.
If you aren't sure that you're ready for the class, the instructor can help you determine if auditing is right for you. Anyone can audit the class for free, staying out of the main rotation and trying out the content at their own pace.
