We will not be dancing Dec 24 or 31, 2025!
Lesson Series
Every week, UCSwing offers two lessons, occurring concurrently 8-9pm: the Fundamentals series and the Special Topics series.
​
Please check in 7:45-8pm for lessons. If you arrive more than 15 minutes late, you will be asked to observe instead of joining the lesson rotation.
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.
-
Check out our Fundamentals Syllabus to see what is covered in this series!
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!
