SUNDAY CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:


BASICS / BEGINNING
2 P.M. Class covers ten basic steps perfect for beginners.  It is also perfect for seasoned dancers needing to clean up their basic lead and follow.  It is these ten basic moves from which multiple intermediate moves develop, therefore, they are most important in West Coast Swing.

A first time student does not need to know what was taught the week before.  This makes class especially comfortable if you need to miss an occasional Sunday.  It is suggested Beginning students repeat the five-week series approximately three times.

The Ten Basic Steps are a prerequisite to Debbie's Intermediate class.
Ten Basic Steps include:  4 specific Whips, 3 Passes, 1 Push,  1 Starter Step and a Tuck-send out.    See the complete list of Ten Basic Steps below.

INTERMEDIATE
3 P.M. Class covers a diverse arrangement of patterns/moves.
Each Sunday, low intermediate patterns are introduced.  As the entire class masters the pattern, a higher level of the same pattern is introduced.
Over five weeks of practice, patterns continue to develop into strong Intermediate patterns with multiple exit options.
Each Intermediate pattern builds from the Ten Basic steps.


ADVANCED/ STYLING
4 P.M. Class covers diverse footwork, body movements, and music interpretation.  This class helps the student create his own style and shine on the dance floor.
Each Sunday, class progresses differently.  Personal styling is developed through syncopated timing steps, splits, slides, body rolls, turns, rondes, single-leg spins, shoulder rhythms, jazz hips, pops, etc.  It is essential you know the rhythm of WCS before attempting to stylize the basics.

ROUTINE CLASS

4 P.M. Styling Class also develops an on-going routine within the class.

This helps the students with musical interpretation, dancing on the beat of the music, creating emphasis, light and shade, all while linking combination steps together.
