Love soul-filled R&B music and want to learn a popular swing style suited to that vibe? West Coast Swing is the dance you seek --- both sophisticated and energetic, gracefully incorporating "pushes, tucks, whips" with underarm turns. It's danced to slower music and in a linear pattern called a “slot” that requires less dance floor & favors subtle movements---a great step for Blues Dances, parties, or a night on the town! Beginners welcome; experienced dancers will improve styling and learn new moves.
