Intermediate WCS program
Wednesdays at Dancing for Dessert

This program consists of a five 6-week series on Footwork, Connection, Upper Body, Turns, and Musicality. You don't have to take them consecutively and can join any of the progressive 6-week series at the start.

This program was designed with a clear purpose: to help you to not just execute WCS patterns, but truly dance through them. Whether you're a social dancer looking to have more fun on the floor or a competitor aiming to advance through the ranks, you've learned to understand the mechanics of the basics, improvise within established patterns, and extend them creatively. From building a solid foundation to adding complexity to your pattern work and finally dancing to the music, you've experienced how the balance between technical proficiency and creative expression transforms good dancers into great ones.

For those competing on the WCS circuit, the skills we work on provide the foundation needed to consistently make Novice and Intermediate finals. And looking ahead, I'd love to eventually develop this program to support your journey to even higher divisions.

Remember that dance education is never a "once and done" experience. You'll discover new layers each time you revisit these concepts—whether you're working with different partners, attending workshops, or simply enjoying social dancing. With each iteration, you'll approach the material from the next level of your learning spiral, ready to absorb deeper insights.

Think of it as "rinse and repeat," where each cycle takes you further into mastery. Concepts that once seemed challenging will become second nature, and you'll uncover hidden gems that surprise even yourself! The program will evolve alongside you, adjusting to your growing skills and readiness for increased complexity. Whether you joining after 12 weeks of Intro classes or have been working on your West Coast Swing for years, you will find new things to work on.

The end of this series isn't the end of your journey—it's just the beginning of dancing with newfound awareness and joy! I highly encourage everyone to take at least 2 sets of the full program or more, practice at home, with partners, and apply concepts in social dancing to accelerate your learning.
See you on the dance floor!

About Me

My performing arts foundation includes 7 years of classical piano and Ukrainian folk dancing in Elementary years, which expanded later with Argentine Tango, Salsa LA and NY, Bachata, Contemporary, and Hip hop.

But West Coast Swing has truly captured my heart, and I have happily continued learning and tinkering with my West Coast Swing for the last 11 years. I am excited to share my knowledge and approach to this fascinating improvisational partner dance with you to make your dance dreams come true!

I have placed in the top 3 in different levels of improvisational competitions in both roles (Follower and Leader) as well as the Rising Star routine division throughout North America.

Teaching: Over the years, I have consistently trained my dancing and teaching skills with Champion-level dancers like Myles Munroe and Tessa Cunnigham Munroe, Sean and Alyssa McKeever, taken multiple WCS-specific teacher training opportunities, workshops with other WCS Pros, judges training, and DJ trainings with DJ JAmes, Koichi, and Victor Loveira.

I regularly teach Intermediate group classes on Wednesdays at Dancing for Dessert, Intro A/B, and Essentials at SwingSoul. I can also be found deejaying local social dance nights, combining my passion for music with my love for dance.

I will be happy to help you on your WCS journey, whether you are just starting or have been doing it for years!
