Biomechanics nerds, perpetually injured dancers, and anyone who wants to be able to WCS well into their 90s unite: sports and orthopedic bodyworker and licensed massage therapist Megan Dupree is coming to Boston! We’ve all taken classes on how to dance, but when have you had a chance to learn how to really MOVE? Megan will take us on a three-hour deep-dive into the mechanics behind how to show up as the strongest, most efficient, and pain-free version of yourself on the dance floor.
For our new dance friends, please join Desirae & Matt for a special extended beginner WCS class- extra time means extra practice and extra fun!
We have residential neighbors at this venue who appreciate their sleep and their resident-only parking spots. Please monitor your volume outside of the venue and take care not to park in marked resident spots or on the left-hand side of the garage (the right side is safe after the hours posted on the signs).

ABOUT DESIRAE & MATT
As musicians turned dancers, Matt and Desirae were drawn to west coast swing because of the opportunity it provides for musicality and expression in yet another way. You can find them traveling the country 15-20 weekends a year to teach, compete, judge, and perform. Entering the 10th year of their dance partnership, they are passionate about the Boston WCS community and making core swing technique fun, accessible, and useful for everyone who learns from them.
