-6:00 – 7:00 pm WCS Novice Class
This is a 6-lesson program where the beginning dance student learns and/or reviews the basic moves of West Coast Swing in a choreographed 10-12 move series. Upon completion the student will feel very comfortable dancing this dance in public. Additionally, lead/follow techniques of connection, the rules/protocols of swing, dance frame, the music, timing, and other related items are taught. I, the Instructor, cannot overly stress the importance of the beginning student to grasp the footwork and techniques of West Coast Swing. They are needed in order to be able to advance in this dance as well as for other types/kinds of dance.

-7:00 - 8:00pm WCS Intermediate Division
Once you've completed the basics and you're ready for more, this class is for you. I normally teach this Division in several different sets of moves totaling over 100 moves. For this session/Set I will select a beginning Intermediate chorography set of approximately 8-10 moves to the previous moves of the Novice session. These are beginning intermediate level moves that are designed to increase the skill level of the student in the previous class in a progressive manner, yet are sequential so that the student may dance the choreography in public with ease. I recommend that the students of this class also attend the above class to refresh their basics skills.

-8:00 - 9:00pm Advanced Intermediate Division
This set of chorography is another step above the previous session. The moves are somewhat complicated, but should be easily accomplished if the student has a good solid knowledge of the basic moves of the Novice session above, and can handled the Intermediate Division moves above with little to no difficulty. I recommend that the students of this class also attend the above classes to refresh their basics and beginning intermediate skills.
