Frequently Asked Questions

What are 5 basic steps in line dancing?

Line dancing draws on moves such as the grapevine, step-touch, kick-ball-change, pivot turn and simple walks. This class actually teaches West Coast Swing, a partner dance, so the core steps are different and centred on slotted patterns.

What is the easiest line dance to learn for beginners?

For line dancing, short routines with one repeating sequence are easiest. In West Coast Swing, beginners start with the basic sugar push and walks, which are equally approachable.

Can you learn to dance without a partner?

Yes. Although West Coast Swing is a partner dance, classes rotate partners so you can attend on your own and still practise throughout.

What should I wear to a beginner dance class?

Comfortable clothing you can move in and smooth-soled shoes that let you pivot are ideal. Avoid grippy trainers, which can catch during turns.

How much does a dance class usually cost?

Class prices vary and are often paid per session. For the current rates at WestCo's Swing Surrey, it is best to get in touch directly.

Which dance is best for beginners?

The best beginner dance is one you enjoy, and West Coast Swing is a friendly, versatile option that works to lots of modern music. Its relaxed pace and rotating partners make it especially welcoming for newcomers.
