It
is the intention of this class to help you "let go" and
dance inside the music...not your head. Rather than
worrying so much about foot placement and the numbers, we
will work on the details that make a dance flow...the
hesitations, swoops & swirls etc. that give us the
style we are after (while still having fun!). We will
create a fun & safe environment for you to explore that
softer side of dance.
Prerequisite:
Waltz .
Nightclub
Two-step 2.25 . . . . .7:45-8:45pm

There is a huge variety of music for Nightclub Two-step. It
is truly one of the most versatile dances. We will begin
the process of discovering the musicality and styling that
can make the dance seem fresh with each varied tempo. Does
the music make you want to bounce or be smooth as silk? How
do you change the character of the steps you know to
reflect that? We'll look at a few lovely transitions that
can make the process seamless. We can become the dancers we
love to watch! Join us..
Prerequisite:
NC2-step 2, or 1 with instructor
permission.

Nightclub
Two Step is a favorite for many (especially Janice &
Fred) because it is so versatile. It is essentially modern
Foxtrot and fits many kinds of music. Learn new and fun
variations, and how to be fluid and connected.

OK
Coupeville, we know you love all the forms of East Coast
Swing. Now let’s slow it down and smooth it out with
West Coast Swing using the slower tempos of R&B, Rock,
Funk, and more. Once you get the basics, there’s lots
of room for creativity. The dance mixes both 6 and 8 count
moves, so it is a great place to hone those lead and follow
skills. People on the south end of Whidbey have been
enjoying this dance for quite a while..now it's your
turn.
Prerequisite:
Swing 2 or instructor permission
