Starter pack workshop for real beginners

Want to learn West Coast Swing? This Starter Pack is for you! In just 2 hours of lessons, you'll learn the basics of this dance and be ready for dancing in a party! And just in time, Friday evening is included.

Our teachers, Amandine & Adrien, offer an effective, motivating and fun-filled course.

This is a couple's dance, but you don't need to bring a partner - you can come alone. We'll change partners regularly during the class, so you can dance with everyone!
