Welcome
The doors are open. The floor is ready. The music is on. The Platform is here—and it’s yours.
We’ve built this space for dancers who want more than just classes—they want growth, community, and a home for West Coast Swing in NYC. Whether you’re stepping onto the floor for the first time or refining your craft at a high level, The Platform was designed to meet you where you are and take you further than you imagined.
Why “The Platform”?
This name is layered.
First, it’s my love letter to the NYC West Coast Swing community—a community that has shaped me both as a dancer and as a teacher. I wanted this studio to be unapologetically New York: structured, efficient, and intentional, just like the city’s transit system. Here, learning isn’t random—it has tracks, lines, and clear destinations.
Second, it’s a thank you. After my hiatus from this dance, a few people gave me the platform I needed to teach again: Bekah, Orian, Nikolai, and John. This studio wouldn’t exist without that support.
Now, I want to return the favor. The Platform is my way of extending that same opportunity to you—a place where you can grow, connect, and discover what’s next in your dancing.
What You’ll Find Here (For Now)
At The Platform, everything is built to help dancers thrive:
- Weekly Group Classes – A clear path from foundations to advanced technique.
- Spot Coaching – Book single sessions when you need focused, hands-on guidance.
- Coaching Packages – Dive deep with ongoing training that gives your dancing the consistency it deserves.
We’re starting small and focused—delivering the best possible learning experience while we grow. More events and programs are on the horizon, but for now, we’re keeping the floor dedicated to clear, high-quality training.
Pre-Registration Is Live
Classes at The Platform are pre-registration only, keeping our groups small and focused.
Reserve your spot, show up, and we’ll handle the rest—so you can stop stressing about space on the floor and start focusing on your dancing.
Step On. Level Up.
If you’ve been looking for a place where your dancing can grow—and where every lesson and class is intentional—you’ve just found it.
Welcome to The Platform. Your next stop starts here.
