Nothing
brings more fun to West Coast Swing than some playful, sassy, slinky
attitude. You know what we're talking about! After some basics, you'll
learn patterns and stylings to make you look and feel great to your
partner. Explore tasteful ways to make the connection with your partner
more intimate ;-) and fun. We'll cool down with some romantic, yummy
Night Club 2-Step.
Prerequisite: Solid confidence with dance basics.

We're available for private lessons at our home
studio in Ballard.
Private
Lessons
After completing the basic,
group lesson for a given dance style two or three times,
students often ask how they can get more advanced
instruction. A very good option is a private lesson. In a
private lesson, the instructor has the luxury of focusing
exclusively on you and will be able to refine your technique
and give you exactly what you need to take your dancing to the
next level. More elaborate patterns can be mastered or if
there is a particular move you've seen that you want to learn,
it can be addressed. Sometimes couples take a private lesson
together to improve their dancing with one another or to
prepare for a special event like a wedding or anniversary.
Last, but not least, private lessons are fun! Many of
my favorite dance memories are of private lessons I have
taken.
Patti and I offer private lessons on
Wednesday evenings in Ballard and can arrange other times and locations on
an individual basis. The fee is $50. per hour for either Patti or I, or
$75. for both of us together. We love teaching private lessons and getting
to know our students better. We think you will love them too.
