| 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 Intro to WCS 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. Exceptions: The workshop on the 4th Sunday is ALWAYS extra cost even if you qualify for free admission. There is NO free admission on 5th Sunday when we have a band. 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. |
