WCS103 - Beginning West Coast Swing with Andrew Walls
Date: Thu 9/17/2026 - 10/22/2026
Time: 6:15 pm - 7:15 pm
Price: $70 - boogie bird discount: $63 if registered by 9/11

Smooth, stylish, and danced to everything from blues to pop, West Coast Swing is one of the most popular and fastest-growing social dances. Learn from Anne and Andy Walls in this fun, welcoming class. 💃🕺

WCS103 focuses on 6-count patterns with an emphasis on starter steps, closed position, and smooth transitions between closed and open.

No experience needed—this is a foundational class (beginner to intermediate). WCS101–103 can be taken in any order, and all are recommended before moving to intermediate levels. Repeat classes encouraged to build confidence, skill, and versatility.

WCS205 - Intermediate West Coast Swing with Andrew Walls
Date: Thu 9/17/2026 - 10/22/2026
From: 7:15 pm - 8:25 pm
Price: $70 - boogie bird discount: $63 if registered by 9/11

Learn to use folds, cross-hand variations, and off-hand leads as we take another look at some fun patterns possibly already within our repertoire and freshen them up a bit.

A great chance to hone your ability to lead and follow west coast swing plus look at concepts that build beyond your basics! This class requires the completion of WCS101, WCS102, and WCS103.

We're planning to place another clothing order. There is a link below to the pdf catalog or I can email it to you, you'll see an order form on the last page, if you are able, you can print and fill that out and get it to us.

Or come by the ballroom. I have most of these items here for you to see, feel and try on. Probably only one size, but should be good enough to see how they fit! Just let us know when you plan to come by. We are here a lot, days and evenings! We have a practice dance on Thursdays between 8:30 and 9:30 pm, you could drop in then, if it works for you. We won't have a lot of time on Sunday, just so you know.

The sweatshirt shows a more cropped close fit, but I ordered an XL for an oversized look. It's my fave. Same with the Mercer shirt. It's a nice loose fitting shirt if you order up. Or order true to size for a more fitted look.

The ladies fleece hoodie is slimmer/longer than the mens. The mens is a bit boxier.

Let me know if you have questions! I'd like to place this order next week. We'll need payment upon ordering, but still would like to know now who's interested.

Thanks!!

Thriller!

Still time to join the horde!

Come shamble, stagger, lurch, moonwalk, and accidentally make a bunch of new friends. It's spooky, slightly ridiculous, surprisingly good exercise, and one of the most fun things we do all year.
