The dance classes are taught by 15 year veteran dancer and teacher Dancin’ David and his wife Dancin’ Dawn. DANCIN’ TIME is a Saratoga business dedicated to making life more fun and vibrant through the art and social aspects of partner dancing.

“Social partner dancing has many benefits to the individual and the community. People learn to connect with themselves and each other in a holistic and creative way while having fun and improving their physical health,” says Dawn Dawson, co-owner of DANCIN’ TIME.

“The classes at Universal Preservation Hall are a result of a large demand for fun, affordable evening with your spouse or partner, and a great place to meet new people. These classes were partly inspired when the Max Weinberg band played at UPH last fall,” Dawn added.

Dancin’ David and Rachel show you how to dance some simple patterns in West Coast Swing. Left side pass with turning variations. Inside turn for the follower, turn for leader and follower and a lunge to hit the accents in the music.

Our Tuesday night West Coast Swing Dance Class at the Ukranian Hall in Cohoes had fun learning this intermediate dance pattern. I hope you enjoy it as well. Thank you to Rachel for being my dance partner in the video.

We had a fun west coast swing class in November of 2010 at the Ukranian Hall in Cohoes, NY. In the video below we review some simple variations on basic patterns in West Coast Swing. Two footwork variations and some styling for both the leader and follower. The goal was to really connect with your partner and the music. Thank you to Sue for helping me film the video. Enjoy!
