8:30-9:30p - West Coast Swing for Absolute Beginners: Of all the various types of swings, West Coast is the most popular form now being danced in the U.S. Sort of a cross between the old style Lindy Hop and Jitterbug, West Coast is slower, more graceful, and more improvisational then earlier forms of swing. This class will focus on timing, footwork and lead/follow for basic patters such as sugar push, left side pass, right side pass, lady’s underarm turn, and the basic whip in three variations. After a few lessons, you’ll want to join the large group of West Coast Swing dancers that meet every Thursday evening in Medford. This class
is open to all ages and no partner is necessary. Cost is $35/person for
the 6-week series, and you must register through the Ashland Parks and
Recreations Dept by calling (541) 488-5340 or on the web at:
