Where To Dance

 Create your own class

 

Which Shut Up and DANCE classes are right for you?

See our complete West Coast Swing Curriculum below:

Our Goals For You: 

  1. Help you figure out which classes are the best match to your abilities

  2. Help you track your progress easily, as you build your dance skills

  3. Help you get more value for your money/time and feel more comfortable, knowing upfront what’s expected of you

  4. Help ensure your fellow students a more productive, rewarding environment

    3 key programs: Bronze, Silver and Gold:

    • Within each program are individual classes called "levels". Most are 4 weeks: same date and time each week

    • Each level progresses at a logical, comfortable rate, building upon techniques/patterns you’ve learned already

    • The higher the class level, the more challenging the technique and material

  "Bronze"       Your Foundation Series                              (4 class levels… plus our 3-week Bronze Graduate clinic)

 "Silver"           Your Intermediate/Advance Series          (10+ levels…plus our 10-week Silver Graduate clinic)

   "Gold"            Your Advanced/Masters Series                (5+ levels… with more to come in 2009)

 

Already know the dance? Feel you belong in upper Bronze, Silver or Gold?

  • Any student who feels they already know the basics and wants to enroll in BRONZE Level 2 or higher must have specific (1) KNOWLEDGE and (2) SKILLS outlined in our Bronze Level 1 prerequisites.

  • Any student wishing to take SILVER Level classes or workshops must have the specific (1) KNOWLEDGE and (2) SKILLS taught in our entire Level 1-4 Bronze Foundation Series.

  • Any student wishing to take GOLD Level 1 or higher class or workshop must demonstrate clear proficiency with BOTH Bronze Graduate and Silver Graduate concepts, skills and movements.

WHERE you learned doesn’t matter: you could have learned these concepts from other quality instructors/classes.

You don't have to know all the patterns we teach. Patterns are NOT important. Most teachers' patterns vary.

But there are core concepts at every class level that you must understand before you can move on.

At the completion of each medal series, we also offer a "graduate" clinic:

You don’t want to miss this! It’s a specially-designed multi-week clinic reviewing key moves from all the levels with more fine-tuning/focus on musicality and partnership. You’ll "graduate" to your next series stronger and more confident.

  • We review most of the moves/patterns from all the levels to help you smooth them out and get extra practice

  • We fine-tune your lead/follow, musicality and connection to make a BIG difference in how you look/feel

  • We run more MUSIC DRILLS, so you get more comfortable with music, vs. just walking through the steps
