This Sunday, April 27
We’re thrilled to welcome Champion dancer and international emcee 𝐓𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐳𝐞𝐫 to the San 𝐃𝐢𝐞𝐠𝐨 𝐒𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐛!
Tara's dance journey began at the tender age of two, immersing herself in Ballet, Jazz, and Tap. By ten, she ventured into West Coast Swing, training under the guidance of Buddy, Laurie, and Benji Schwimmer. Her dedication and passion propelled her to compete in the young adult divisions by thirteen and the Showcase Routine Division by eighteen.
Throughout her illustrious career, Tara has showcased her versatility by training in various dance styles, including Contemporary, Latin, and Hip Hop. She has competed with jazz teams, swing formation teams, and partner routines, regularly participating in Jack & Jill and Strictly Swing competitions across the United States.
Beyond the dance floor, Tara is a respected choreographer, judge, and dynamic emcee, having hosted events such as Sin City, Swingtacular, Dance N’ Play, Swingin’ New England, and City of Angels. Her contributions to the dance community have been recognized with honors like the California Swing Dance Hall of Fame Nova Star award.
Currently, Tara offers private lessons primarily in Orange County and Redlands, sharing her expertise with dancers of all levels.
Don't miss this opportunity to learn from one of the most accomplished and inspiring figures in the West Coast Swing community!

CLASSES |
|
Concurrent West Coast Swing classes at Introductory and Intermediate Level are held from 1:30-2:30 each Sunday except on the 4th Sunday when we have a special, extra-cost, advanced workshop. Except for that advanced workshop, attending these classes is free with paid admission to the dance. No experience is required for the beginner-level lesson. Dance admission is $10 for members, $15 for non members. A full year of membership is just $35. San Diego County residents may attend their first dance for free including the Free Lesson on days when they are taught. The exception is for the special class on the 4th Sunday which always costs extra. A Special, more challenging workshop is held on the 4th Sunday of each month. This workshop will be taught by a local or out-of-town professional instructor and there is an extra $10 fee. Usually West Coast Swing is taught. On the First Sunday of the month, a dance other than West Coast Swing is taught in the main ballroom. In most cases, the Introductory WCS class IS still taught on the 1st Sunday. Our music mix includes music for other dances, including Country Two-Step, Nightclub Two-Step, Waltz, Cha Cha, etc. On each "First Sunday" we take the opportunity to teach one of these dances. Details on the current week's classes or workshops are elsewhere on this page and in the "calendar" section of the website. |
