The ultimate feel-good party dance — fun, energetic, and perfect for any music at any event in the Inland Empire.
East Coast Swing is the go-to party dance for a reason. Born out of the rock-and-roll era of the 1950s, this upbeat and energetic partner dance took the rhythms of swing music and simplified them into patterns that anyone could pick up and enjoy. Built on a foundation of 6-count and 8-count patterns, East Coast Swing is the most popular swing dance in the world — and one of the most fun dances you will ever learn.
What makes East Coast Swing so appealing is its incredible versatility. It works with an enormous range of music — rock and roll, pop, country, oldies, and even modern hits. Whether you are at a wedding reception in Rancho Cucamonga, a party in the Inland Empire, or a social dance night anywhere in Southern California, knowing East Coast Swing means you will always have something to dance to. It is upbeat, joyful, and guaranteed to put a smile on your face and your partner's.

"I came in as a complete solo student, not knowing a soul. Within a month, I had a whole group of friends who I see every week at group classes and practice parties. The instructors made me feel welcome from day one."
