Basically bring friends who haven't really danced WCS before, have them take the beginner class and let us know when you check in. We'll comp them in and put your name on our guest list for a future Blackout. Next time you're checking in, just let them know that you're on the guest list, and you're good to go. So spread your passion of WCS with your world! FREE Beginner Class Every Week!!! FREE Entry for 1st timers @ Blackout Friday Student Discounts! Our Mission: We want to inspire, grow, dance, and teach West Coast Swing. Please help us make Black Out Fridays a night of dancing that LA can be proud of! Our classes are designed to be fun, educational, fresh, and taught by instructors that either teach, compete, or judge at the top level in the world!
