In this WCS Fundamentals Class we will be building on and refining the five basic steps learned in the Intro classes, breaking them down into easy-to-follow components. You will begin to explore connection, a crucial aspect of West Coast Swing, and learn the subtleties of lead and follow techniques, enhancing your ability to communicate seamlessly on the dance floor. You will also enrich your dance vocabulary with new patterns, variations, and styling options to add flair and creativity to your movements. This four-week class follows a progressive curriculum, ensuring that each session builds upon the previous one.

Whether you're a beginner looking to establish a strong foundation or an intermediate dancer aiming to refine your skills, this class is designed to enhance your understanding of this versatile and stylish dance form.

Prerequisite: Knowledge of the five basic steps (Push Break, Left Side Pass, Right Side Pass, Push Break with Tuck Turn, and Basic Whip)

Laura has been dancing, teaching, and performing West Coast Swing, Hustle, Salsa, and many more for a little more than a decade. When she teaches, her emphasis is on creating a dance class that doesn't have any age, size, mobility, or enthusiasm limits!

With zero childhood dancing other than "rockin' out" to the Beatles in her living room when she was 3, Laura brings the ability to teach students to be kind to themselves when learning new dances or simply how to dance for the first time.

She started learning partner dances in her 30s and keenly remembers the awkward stage of no proprioception or coordination because it was pretty much last Tuesday.

A block of four classes costs $30.

The four week blocks will start on April 6th and May 4th.
