Monday Nights: Learn WCS in NYC

• 7 PM: Basics & Beyond (Level 1+)

Build and refine the West Coast Swing basics you already know. You must be able to dance a sugar push, right side pass, and left side pass confidently and consistently in your chosen role, without difficulty or step-by-step guidance. These patterns are required before joining and are not taught from scratch. Still learning them? Start with our Level 1 WCS Beginner Class before booking Basics & Beyond.

• 8 PM: Strategy Class (Open Level, solid foundations required)

Learn how to plan your dance, play with musicality, and create smoother flow on the floor.

• 9 PM: Small Batch Guided Practice (every other week)

Try things out, ask questions, and receive feedback from Joe while dancing.
