February 2025 Announcements


Social dancing and classes

We’re hosting our monthly Saturday social dance on the first day of February! This includes a one-hour Westie crash course for new dancers followed by several hours of social dancing. This is a great time to bring friends who are curious about trying West Coast Swing. Our usual slate of classes will start on the following Wednesday.

We’re also so excited to announce that Sonya Dessureault will be teaching a workshop on the afternoon of March 1st. Mark your calendars! Event links and private lesson sign-ups in our “Save the Date” section below.
