Join UCWDC Champion and Certified Judge Stuart Palmer for a West Coast Swing Lesson and stay for a fun night of Country Two Step and Contemporary West Coast Swing dancing with a little bit of everything else in the mix (Waltz, Cha-Cha, East Coast Swing, Night Club Two Step, etc.).
We will start at 6:30 with beginner basics to get you moving to the music. Then at 7, we'll have our beginner-to-intermediate lesson to add some fun moves to get you really dancing! No experience necessary and no partner necessary. We will rotate partners during the lesson. Come learn this fun dance and have great time meeting some new friends!!
Some light snacks provided but feel free to bring a snack to share. There is a full bar so come early, get a drink and sit out on the river side deck before the dance starts!!
