Next Wednesday, we’re back with another round of West Coast Wednesdays—and this one’s bringing all the right energy!🕺 Kelly Palmiter is leading the lessons, bringing his signature blend of musicality, creativity, and low-pressure fun. If you’ve danced with him before, you know it’s always time well spent.
🎧 Then it’s all social: DJ Don Schanaberger will be spinning your WCS favorites all night long. Expect a solid mix of energy, groove, and those "ooh I love this song" moments.
Whether you're dancing every week or just making your way back—this is a good night to join in.
✔️ Friendly, come-as-you-are atmosphere
✔️ Fun, approachable instruction
✔️ Great music + great people
Invite a friend, come solo, or just show up ready to move. We’ll save you a spot on the floor.

👟 Lessons with Kelly Palmiter
🎧 Music by Don Schanaberger
7:45 - The Newcomer Mixer
New-ish to WCS or WCW? Come Say Hey.
Right after the beginner lesson, we host a low-key Newcomer Mixer—designed to help you settle in, ask questions, run through what you just learned, and connect with other dancers (new and seasoned) who remember exactly what those first nights felt like.
No pressure. No awkward intros. Just a welcoming space to dance a little more, meet some friendly faces, and feel part of the crew.
This week’s mixer will be hosted by one of our favorite regulars who are there to help you feel at home on the floor.
For the evening:
- Doors open at 6:45 PM;
- The novice-level lesson starts at 7:00 PM; the intermediate-level lesson starts at 7:45 PM;
- The newcomer mixer goes from 7:45-8:30 PM;
- Open dancing will run from 8:30 - 11:00 PM.
If there are any questions, feel free to reach out to April Prince or Ken Dillard, or email us at: [email protected]
