At all WCSCalgary Friday events there are 3 drop in classes running simultaneously.
One beginner class for new and existing dancers who have never done to West Coast Swing, providing the perfect foundation to get started.
The other two classes are a part of our rotating Skills & Drills series designed to help dancers develop their technique, partnership, musicality, and overall understanding of West Coast Swing through focused concepts and exercises.
No matter your skill level these classes give dancers opportunities to learn, grow, and build confidence on the dance floor.
