Absolutely. You do not need a partner to attend our classes or social dances. Many people come by themselves their first night.
We rotate partners during class so everyone gets the opportunity to learn and meet different people. During the social dance, our regular dancers make a point of welcoming newcomers and asking them to dance.

What is West Coast Swing?
West Coast Swing is a smooth, modern partner dance that can be danced to many styles of music, including pop, R&B, blues, country, and more. Unlike dances that travel around the room, West Coast Swing is danced in a smaller space and focuses on connection, musicality, and creating the dance together.
What class should I take?
