    Join our 'email list' to get class schedules as soon as they're available.   How?   Simply email and ask us to add you (NB: include your first and last names, your HOME (or cell) phone number, ...plus a good time to call).

    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.

     
    WCSLondon had 30!! dancers at the "Toronto Open Swing Dance Championships" (July, 2008)
     

    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 ...25+ assignments as cruise dance instructors, plus teaching in the US, Cape Town South Africa, Beijing China, London England, Barcelona Spain, Sydney & Adelaide Australia and Auckland N.Z.

    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!!
