Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to bring a partner to dance with?

Nope, you don’t need to bring a partner, or even know anyone!

In our classes, we rotate partners regularly.

This helps everyone get to know each other and improves your dancing faster.

Of course, you’re welcome to bring a partner if you’d like, but it’s not a requirement.

Absolutely!

In Country Swing, we usually rotate partners in class.

However, couples who wish to remain together and not rotate, may absolutely do so.

If you’ve never danced before, don’t worry!

Country Swing is all about fun moves and cool tricks, with less focus on footwork, timing, or rhythm, making it easier to learn.

West Coast Swing focuses more on technique, footwork, and connection, making it great for people who want to enjoy a smoother, more technical approach to dancing.
