Learn & Dance


Come dance with 802 Westie Collective!

All of our events are held at the North Star Community Hall in Burlington, VT.  Whether you are brand new to dancing or have been dancing West Coast Swing for years, we welcome you to come check out an evening of dancing!  

New to West Coast Swing? Join us for a “crash course” before our Saturday dance or for a level 1 “Basics” series.

Most Wednesdays

7:00-8:00 West Coast Swing Classes

  • Level 1 “Foundations”: A 4-week progressive series. If you are new to West Coast Swing or the role you are dancing, please start the first week of the month.
  • Level 2: Must be able to consistently execute these patterns in the role you will be dancing in class: left side pass, underarm turn, sugar push/push break, push tuck, whip, slingshot. Level 2 is drop-in friendly! Most dancers will take Level 1 at least twice before progressing to Level 2.
