Sample the incredibly wide variety of music used for
West Coast Swing (WCS) and Nite-Club 2-Step (NC2S)
To participants in our workshops in New Zealand last November, and in our classes on the 30-day cruise from Seattle to Sydney last Sept-October ... we hope to put up photos from these events very shortly. We regret this major delay and ask for your continued indulgence.
We had great fun teaching on a 19-day cruise from Singapore to Sydney in early 2007, and thoroughly enjoyed the month we spent visiting and travelling around Australia ...including the 5 workskops we taught (Adelaide & Sydney) before joining 1200 dancers at a major WCS event in Sacramento on the way home. Click here if you were in our cruise class, in our workshops downunder, or just like AUSTRALIA PHOTOS<<<<

WEDDING INSTRUCTION:
While many couples opt to participate in GROUP CLASSES to prepare for their wedding (more fun, and always cheaper), private lessons may be necessary if you've left it too late, have complex work schedules (shift work, travel, etc.), or want lessons for your whole wedding party. If any of these apply to you, EMAIL us (include a phone # and a good time to call), or phone (495-7424) to arrange private lessons on a weekly (or irregular) basis.

APOLOGY!!
Apart from this page and the "What's New" links above, this site has not been updated since 2001. Very simply, we've been having too much fun dancing and travelling to worry about it (eg. numerous overseas cruise assignments, dancing and teaching in the US, Cape Town South Africa, Beijing China, London England, Barcelona Spain and Sydney & Adelaide Australia). For those awaiting updated links or other information, we'll do an update shortly. Thank you for your patience!!

Don't waste good R&B, Rock, Oldies, Motown, Big Band, Disco, Funk, etc. by just listening to it!
Get up off your butt and "DO it!" Even better, do it together!!
