A supportive community and clear structure to help you unleash your dance potential
Join our West Coast Swing classes and discover one of the most versatile and enjoyable partner dances around. EastonSwing runs regular classes across the UK for complete beginners through to experienced West Coast Swing dancers.
You don’t need a partner and you don’t need any previous dance experience. Our classes combine structured teaching with plenty of opportunity to practise, social dance and become part of the West Coast Swing community.
Our class nights usually run for around three hours and include different levels of instruction, depending on the location.
Level 1 is perfect for complete beginners or anyone wanting to strengthen their fundamentals. Level 2 builds on those basics, introducing variations and concepts to increase your confidence on the social floor. Level 3 develops a broader range of patterns and techniques, while Level 4 explores creativity and the finer details of the dance.
And when the teaching is done, the lights go down, the music turns up and we social dance — practising what we’ve learnt, finding our rhythm and developing our own style.
Our learning approach removes the guesswork from your progress. Each level includes a clear set of patterns and techniques, giving you what you need to develop at your current stage and move confidently towards the next. You choose the level that feels right for you — and if you’re unsure, our crew can offer guidance.
Our progressive class structure builds week by week. You’ll recognise core techniques and concepts as they recur, while continuing to explore new patterns and movements. This helps you build strong foundations in your dancing while always moving forward and feeling inspired.
Our levelled classes are designed to progress dancers, not divide them. Many of our more experienced dancers continue to participate in Level 1 and Level 2 classes to sharpen their fundamental skills and support newer dancers.
Class nights also include social dancing, so whatever level you attend, you’ll have opportunities to dance with and get to know people from across our community.
