Lia’s Classes
If no classes are listed, please stay tuned for next month’s class update.
West Coast Swing is a smooth, modern swing dance that evolved from Lindy Hop, blending classic swing elements with contemporary influences. Unlike the bouncy, high-energy feel of traditional swing dances, West Coast Swing features a distinctive elastic connection between partners, allowing for a sleek, flowing style. It is highly versatile and can be danced to a wide variety of music genres, including R&B, Hip Hop, Lyrical, Blues, Pop, and even contemporary chart hits.
