1) West Coast Swing, Next Steps: Passes

  • Open Space Studios 1711 North Main Street Blacksburg, VA, 24060 United States (map)

This class series will take the basic concepts covered in a Fundamentals class to the next level. While continually reviewing and refining those basics, we can create new patterns by taking our fundamentals and playing with the timing, shape, direction, foot placement, style, etc. The class titles will remain the same, but the content will be more intermediate. To join this class, you must have completed all six weeks of the Fundamentals series in that given style or have equivalent knowledge (please contact me to see if this class is a good fit for you).

Each class begins with 30 minutes of practice and warm-up, overlapping with the participants of the Fundamentals class’s practice time, followed by an hour of instruction beginning at 3:30. A safe and welcoming space is a priority, so please read the code of conduct before attending. 

IIn the full series, we will explore passes (week 1), pushes (week 2), the triple rhythm (week 3), whips (week 4), starters and throw-outs (week 5), and musicality (week 6).

Registration is optional but strongly encouraged as details are always subject to change. Please reach out to me to let me know you are coming.

Six weeks - $72 (this can be used for any Fundamentals or Next Steps class)

Drop-Ins - $15
