A place with a great learning atmosphere and social vibe where new friendships are made!
W/C Swing Lessons & Dancing for MAY 2026 at the Boogie's WCS Tuesdays with top level local to international WCS instructors!
*NEW SUPERVISED PRACTICE CLASS STUCTURE
L-1 & L-2 Dancers choice.
In this class we offer the option for L-1 and above dancers to further work on the development of their Essential Basics. This allows for a full 1.5 hours of learning and development time which we feel is very helpful in accelerating growth in the dance.
We also offer an L-2 level development option for those that wish to work on the material taught in the L-2 class or for those that wish to dip their dance toes into the next Level waters in a smaller group environment. Deeper dives into WCS basic concepts, foundational movements and drill work will be offered.
*Classes will consist of instructional info, Q&A, and music dance practice.
