Lesson Series
Every week, UCSwing offers two lessons, occurring concurrently 8-9pm: the Fundamentals series and the Special Topics series.
Fundamentals Series
The Fundamentals series is open to dancers of any level and is intended to serve as a fun and informative introduction to West Coast Swing from the ground up. ​
-
Anyone who has never taken West Coast Swing before MUST go to at least a Week 1 or Week 2 Fundamentals series class in order to attend Weeks 3 and 4.
-
Week 1 is always the first Wednesday of the month; Week 2 is the second Wednesday.
-
For more experienced dancers, the Fundamentals class splits off into a “Progression” section where in-depth Fundamentals technique is explained.
-

Special Topics
The Special Topics series is intended for dancers with outstanding fundamentals, and requires a short test of our fundamentals competencies to enter.
-
Tests are held at the beginning of every fourth social dance of the month, and as-needed before classes (7:45pm) if instructors are available.
-
In Special Topics, guest or returning teachers choose a central topic to develop every month. This month’s topic can be found on our Facebook event!
