West coast Swing

We have been growing the WCS community of dancers in the Maryland, DC, and northern Virginia region for many years. We teach weekly WCS lessons in Baltimore County, we host dances for WCS, and we offer private lessons to help our students improve their swing.

Our method is to teach patterns that build in a way that makes sense, teaching foundational skills and emphasizing good technique and partner connection. We discuss body mechanic, the physics of dance and good principles of movement to help our students understand why certain technical aspects make their dancing look and feel better. We believe everyone who moves to music is a dancer. We strive to help our students be the best dancers they can be.

Weekly WCS Classes

When: Beginner and Intermediate classes are held every Thursday night from 7:00pm – 9:00pm.

Where: The Promenade Dance Studio, 2605 Lord Baltimore Drive, Windsor Mill, MD 21244. There is plenty of free parking and the ballroom and dance floor is huge!

Cost: $20 per person. We can accept cash, Venmo, or Zelle as payment.

What to Expect:

7:00-8:00pm – Intermediate WCS
You MUST know all of the basics to attend this class. Sugar Push, Left Side Pass, Right Side Pass, Left Side Passing Tucks, Redirect, Sugar Tuck, Closed Whip with turn variations, Basket Whip with turn variations, Reverse Whip with turn variations. If you don’t know these and don’t want to attend the beginner group classes, consider taking a few private lessons to get up to speed so you can join the class. Intermediates are allowed and encouraged to stay for the beginner class for free. Help the beginners feel welcome, work on your basics, and/or learn the other role!

8:00-8:45 – Beginner WCS
We will work on basics as described above. Since it is drop-in, we often base material on the needs of the students who show up on a particular day.

8:45-9:00pm – We play music for student to practice to for 15 minutes if desired.

Classes are drop-in rather than based on a series, so students may come any time. Students do not need to bring a partner. We rotate partners in class and anyone who comes with a partner and does not wish to rotate may opt to stay with the same partner while others rotate.

Still have questions or want to make sure we are holding class before you come? Email us at Amanda.Corey.Dance@gmail.com or text Amanda (443-739-6492).
