Throughout May we will be taking a deep dive into West Coast Swing! Whether you’ve never experienced WCS or you’ve dabbled in it previously it’ll be the ideal space for dancers to explore WCS and expand past the basics. Week 1: In Week 1 we’ll cover the basic WCS rhythm and a few fundamental WCS patterns to give us a strong base for our journey into all of the ways we can experiment and play with WCS so we can fuse it into our dancing. *𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘀!* Each week the fundamentals lesson will include the bare minimum you need to step out onto the dance floor as well as a specific concept and skill.

Over time, their love for music blended into dancing and DJing throughout Nor Cal, where they bring a variety of genres including latin, afro, and hip-hop beats. They strive to create moments that span a range of familiarity and energy--from stank-face-inducing hype to sinking into something gooey. 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗲 𝗦𝗶𝗹𝘃𝗮 Natalie started her dance journey in 2016 with Waltz & Irish Ceili before stumbling upon Fusion Dancing. She has dabbled in a variety of other dances as well but continues to do Fusion, Waltz, and Irish Ceili the most. Natalie enjoys exploring the overlap of different dances because no matter how different the dances seem there’s always some similarities. 𝗘𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝗯 Emily Webb began her love affair with partner dancing in 1996. Starting out as a Lindy Hopper, through the years she danced through Tango, Salsa, Blues, and finally Fusion dance. Today, Fusion and Tango remain her greatest dance loves. Emily teaches Tango and Fusion across North America, and she is the co-creator of Mission Fusion. While Emily loves to geek out on technique she also believes learning should be experiential and fun! Her classes create a positive environment to explore human relationship, movement and expression in dance partnership. Get ready to play, get geeky, laugh, learn and delve deep into the world of partner dance! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 𝐂𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭 Shades San Francisco strives to create a safer space for everyone.
