Dance the night away in Abbotsford
Residents in and around Abbotsford may wish to take the time in the New Year to learn a new skill, and a dance class may well be a favourable means of doing so.
West Coast Swing is a partner dance, and an offshoot of Lindy Hop. It is danced in an imaginary rectangular slot, which is longer for slower tempo music and shorter for up-tempo beats. Lindy Hop and its derivatives, of which there are many, was popular on the West Coast of the US in the 1940s and 50s.
During the course at Platform Studio, participants will learn how to dance West Coast Swing to a variety of music with a partner, how to express musicality and personal styling and learn great technique, all within a friendly community. West Coast Swing has some basic premises, but is open to innovation. Community events like these may well be advertised locally by the means of brochure printing.
West Coast Swing Mondays starts on Monday 22nd January and runs until Monday 12th February, with the classes scheduled from 6.30pm until 10pm.
Tickets cost from $20 for a single workshop. The venue is Platform Studio, 2219 Johnston Street, Abbotsford, VIC 3067. There are classes for both beginners and the more experienced, and there is no need to bring a partner, as the class will work in rotation.
