WCS Calgary offers a beginner level class focused on both new and existing dancers who have never done west coast swing before. Additionally, we offer a rotating series called skills and drills which is designed to help dancers dive into deeper individual and partner related concepts of west coast swing. These classes are the key to unlocking more dynamic, musical, and connected moments of swing out on the dance floor. Every Friday dance at WCS Calgary has one beginner class and two separate skills and drills classes running before the social dance.
