Some dance styles look complicated until someone shows you how to break them down.
Five6seven8 Entertainment invites you to discover the smooth, stylish world of West Coast Swing with a three-hour workshop designed to take the mystery out of this dynamic social dance.
Led by Alissa, this West Coast Swing Bootcamp focuses on five essential basics, giving you the foundations you need to step onto the social dance floor with confidence.
No partner needed. Just come as you are.
What to Expect
West Coast Swing is known for its smooth movement, musicality, connection and incredible versatility. But when you’re new to the style, knowing where to start can feel overwhelming.
This workshop is designed to change that.
Over three focused hours, Alissa will break down the five essential basics of West Coast Swing, taking you through the foundations step by step so that the movements begin to feel natural rather than intimidating.
You’ll work on the fundamental techniques and patterns that give you the confidence to move with a partner, understand the rhythm, and start enjoying the social side of West Coast Swing.
The goal isn’t to overwhelm you with complicated choreography.
It’s to give you a foundation you can actually use.
From the Studio to the Social Floor
One of the best things about West Coast Swing is that the learning doesn’t stop when the class ends.
The style is built around social dancing, musical interpretation and connection, making it a fantastic way to meet other dancers while continually developing your skills.
This bootcamp is designed to help bridge that gap.
You’ll leave with a better understanding of the fundamentals and, more importantly, the confidence to walk into a group class or social dance without feeling completely lost.
No Partner? No Problem.
You don’t need to arrive with a partner.
West Coast Swing is a social dance, and participants will have opportunities to work with different people throughout the workshop.
Come on your own, bring a friend, or book together with a partner. Everyone is welcome.
Why You Should Book
If you’ve ever watched West Coast Swing and thought, “I’d love to learn that, but I wouldn’t know where to start,” this is your opportunity.
Three hours. Five essential basics. Expert guidance.
It’s a focused introduction designed to give you the tools to start dancing with confidence rather than simply watching from the sidelines.
Whether you’re completely new to West Coast Swing or looking to strengthen your foundations, this workshop gives you the space to learn, practise and enjoy the process.
