What we are up to!
Dear friends,
We have been busy! You all know how much we love dancing and sharing our passion for West Coast Swing. So, that is exactly why we started teaching here in Spotsylvania, VA!
We are finishing up our first Basic Beginner WCS series. We taught at two locations: Lake of the Woods Fitness Center and Fredericksburg Yoga & Wellness. Our last class of this series ends this week.
It was so well received that, starting in March, we are teaching another series in both places!
It has been so fulfilling to see the enthusiastic new group of WCS dancers develop and grow in our neck of the woods. The love for our dance is spreading, and we could not be happier about it!
We have also been guest teaching in two of the warmest dance communities we have found: Richmond and Charlottesville. They have received us with open arms, and we love teaching and dancing with them.
We would also like to acknowledge the wonderful Shag dance community in the area, the Battlefield Boogie Club, who have been a tremendous help with promoting our WCS lessons. In fact, we have joined their club and social events, and we are learning Shag from the wonderful teachers and dancers, Audrey and Don Borja.
Where we’re teaching next!
