Fundamentals of West Coast Swing, "Spinning" (5)

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

West Coast Swing is a modern social dance derived from Lindy hop and continually evolves as popular music changes. This social dance style prioritizes connection with your partner, musicality, and improvisation. The West Coast Swing community is worldwide; dances and events can be found in most major cities and beyond.

In the fifth week, as both leaders and followers, we will work on techniques for comfortable spins in any dance. As time allows, we will explore patterns that use spins so we can apply our approach to the dance.

In the entire series, we will explore pushes and passes (week 1), tucks (week 2), starters and throw-outs (week 3), whips (week 4), spinning (week 5), and extensions and musicality (week 6). If you are new to a fundamentals class, please read the full description of this format.

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.
