About Us

What is West Coast Swing?

West Coast Swing is a modern dance form that incorporates elements from classic Swing and fuses them with Hip-Hop, Contemporary, Ballet, and pretty much any other style you can think of.

The rules for how to do the dance are simple enough that anyone can get up and running in a short amount of time, but a practitioner may refine their technique to a very high degree of sophistication.

Consent

No one should feel compelled to dance with any partner or in any manner that is against their will.

Empathy

Endeavor to understand and adjust to your partner. Dance the dance that gives them the most joy. Foster community through inclusion by dancing with everyone.

Duality

Sometimes, valid principles will contradict each other.  For instance, a good community member should be inclusive toward other dancers, but no community member should be compelled to engage with individuals that make them uncomfortable.  We should acknowledge and embrace this phenomenon, and work to seek when and how one of our beliefs takes precedence over another.

Our Community Code of Conduct

As a community, we strive to ensure that the space we enjoy our dance in is presented as a safe and nurturing environment to all who choose to join us.

We ask that everyone read over and make themselves familiar with our Code of Conduct. If you observe someone breaking these rules, whether by directly interacting with your or with others, be sure to use the reporting form on our Linktree page. QR code on the image will lead to this.
