West Coast Swing Lesson and Social (Non-QSDC)
West Coast Swing Lesson and Social (Non-QSDC)
May 16, 2025 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM
The Spire, 82 Sydenham St, Kingston, ON K7L 3H4, Canada
Join us for a laid-back West Coast Swing intro class (7:00 - 8:00 PM), followed by a 2 hour DJ'd social dance (8:00 - 10:00 PM). In this simple intro, we’ll cover the basic holds, frames, and standard movements of West Coast.
Prior partnered dance experience is recommended, but not required! Partner rotation will be encouraged during the lesson. This event is not formally affiliated with the Queen's University Swing Dance club, but attendees will be asked to familiarize themselves with and adhere to the applicable guidelines in their Code of Conduct: https://www.queenssdc.ca/code-of-conduct/
When Lindy Hop made its way to the American west coast, it was adapted to fit the rhythms and tempos of country and pop music. The result, West Coast Swing, remains a thriving global dance today. It takes the improvisation and stretchy energy of Lindy Hop and smooths it out to fit nearly any genre. Pop? Rock? R&B? Hip hop? Electronica!? Classical!? If you can count it in 4/4 and find the 1, you can probably West Coast to it!
