Who’s this for? 

This class is for anyone who has been approved for West Coast Swing Complications and wants to also keep reviewing the fundamentals taught in West Coast Swing Foundations.

Entry into the class requires the following:
- Completed at least three Foundations class blocks.
- Successfully passed the audition. 

Auditions are held on the fourth week of each Foundations block. 

Audition criteria:
- Student can complete the following patterns without a partner accurately and on time: Left side pass, under arm turn, sugar push, sugar tuck, whip
- Student can complete the following patterns on time with a partner comfortably and on time: (all above) + inside roll, outside turn

Petitions:
If you wish to join Complications but do not meet the criteria above, you may gain access in one of two ways:
1. Have at least one WSDC novice point.
2. Pass the audition with Todd in a private lesson.

What happens in class?

Students will be introduced to a specific pattern or concept, then given ample opportunity to practice while frequently rotating partners.

Do I need a partner?

No partner is necessary. West coast swing is a social dance, so we’ll be constantly switching partners during the class so that you can become a great dancer with anyone. If you’d prefer to dance with just one person, let us know and we can accommodate that.  

What should I bring? 

• A pair of clean indoor shoes, no outdoor shoes will be allowed in the studio. Runners, dance shoes, or clean socks in a pinch all work.
• A water bottle
