New West Coast Swing Class
Article by: John Rowlands (10/09/2009)
It is hoped to start a West Coast Swing class in the Chester/Wirral area. West Coast Swing is the most difficult dance to learn and there is a large drop out rate, this is usually due to trying to teach intermediate moves too soon, probably due to our Modern Jive background and thinking we need to keep people interested.

Read this article about beginners. westcoastswingamerica.com/mvsbeginners.htm

The class will start off with beginners’ moves, focusing on connection and timing and not trying to do complicated moves before the basics are understood. All will move on at a rate to suit everybody and help each other.

Read other article about beginners. westcoastswingamerica.com/kbbreaks.htm

Once a good enough level is achieved, and everyone feels comfortable with the basics, arrangements will be made for workshops with more proficient teachers.

Before beginning to look for a venue, print fliers, start a website etc., the level of interest in the area needs to be known and to know which day which would be most suitable for the majority of people.

If you haven’t been put off and are still interested please e-mail wcsmodernjiver@hotmail.com with your details.
