Learn West Coast Swing as a beginner
A complete, step-by-step video system to take you from total beginner to comfortable intermediate -- patterns, connection, musicality, styling, and everything in between.
I thought I'd be stumbling all over the place, but I was out on the floor dancing full songs within a month.
WCS always looked super intimidating when I watched people at dances. Breaking down the basics like the sugar push and whip made the timing actually make sense. I stopped worrying about messing up my feet and could just go out and dance.
The beginner course got me started, but signing up for the Dance Mastery membership was totally worth it.
The first course got me moving, but having access to the whole library made a huge difference. Whenever I get stuck on a move or want to check out styling or new variations, I just log in and watch a quick breakdown. It saves me so much frustration.
I finally stopped yanking my partners around.
I had no clue how connection actually worked and was always worried I was pulling people. The breakdown on how to settle weight into the anchor step fixed everything. Now I actually feel solid on the floor without wrestling my partner.
