🎶 West Coast Swing Workshop with James Barlett – Sheffield | Saturday 31st January 💃🕺Join us for an exciting afternoon of West Coast Swing with the fabulous James Barlett — right in the heart of Sheffield City Centre!
📅 Date: Saturday, 31st January
🕐 Time: 1:30 – 5:55 pm
📍 Venue: Croft House Community Centre, 9 Garden Street, Sheffield, S1 4BJ
✨ What to Expect
This is a focused 3-hour West Coast Swing Workshop, followed by a 1-hour practice session to try everything out.
James Barlett is an internationally respected WCS DJ, Judge, and Instructor, and the founder of West Coast Swing Birmingham. With over a decade of experience on the European circuit and a passion for building local dance communities, he brings clear, accessible teaching and deep knowledge of the dance to every class.
If you already know the five core WCS patterns, you’ll feel right at home for the full workshop. Brand new to West Coast Swing? You’re still very welcome! The first hour will be beginner-friendly and a great way to jump in. The second and third hours build on the basics, so they may feel a bit fast if you’re brand new — but you’re welcome to give it a go, watch, and learn as much as you can.
We’ll play with variations on the fundamentals, learn a stylish mini-routine, and then take it straight to the dance floor during the practice session. Come dance, have fun, and fall in love with this awesome, versatile style! ✨
