One important part of our dance practice is solo drills — short, focused exercises that help you build reliable technique and confidence. We’ll identify and isolate the specific skills you need, then modify them so you can form strong, repeatable habits. Though the class is geared toward West Coast Swing students, the drills are useful for dancers of any style or level.

When: First Thursday of the month, 6:00–7:00 PM (before LABORATORY)

Cost: $15 per person

Drills will target:

• Practical exercises for balance and posture

• Controlled weight transfers

• Spins and turns with progressions for stability and spotting

• Movement quality and dynamics

• Musicality, rhythm, and phrasing

• Styling options to personalize your movement

• Tips for integrating drills into your regular practice

• ...and more

Who should attend:

• West Coast Swing students, leads and follows, who want to strengthen solo fundamentals

• Any dancer wanting cleaner technique and better body awareness

• All levels welcome — drills are scalable from beginner to advanced

Bring comfortable shoes and an openness to experiment. Walk away with concrete drills you can add to your toolbox and short practice routines to help cement new habits.
