Lovelies I am not well, so I'm going to call this evening off, so no 4 Step Classes at The Vic tonight. Practice your american spins cos it's spins week, and I will see you next week (if I don't see you for the Great Gatsby this weekend)... next week is Folds Week, so it's hammer locks and Sweethearts ;-)

4 STEP SWING CAN BE DANCED TO 30's and 40's BIG BAND MUSIC, OR TO 50's and 60's STYLE ROCK N ROLL MUSIC... It's an easy and flexible style of dance that is a great place to start your dance journey 🕺💃😁

These dancers are working on their Foundation Steps, and even throw in a Thread The Needle for some fun variety!

4 Step Swing is for anyone, any age, any skill level, the only requirement is that you are open to learning a new skill, and are up for a good laugh and a lot of fun 😉

Every Tuesday night at The Victoria Hotel Yarraville.

THESE GUYS HAD ONLY ONE LESSON IN 4 STEP SWING TRIPLES, AND LOOK AT THEM GO!! So proud of them :-)

These awesome dancers have been learning to dance for a while, so picking up Triples was not as difficult as it would be for a complete newcomer... but dancers often don't realise there's a new range of skills you need to tackle for Triples.

Followers need to learn to keep an eye on each other and what each other is doing, keep an eye on their distance to each other and the lead, and also to maintain their own footwork independently. Followers also need to "stay within the bubble" and keep their energy and movements within their own space, and to follow the direction they are being asked to move accurately rather than generally.

Did you know instead of solidly using only single, only double, or only triple steps, it's best to combine all three? Single steps for short distances, double steps for punctuation, flair and expression, and triple steps for moving smoothly across larger distances.

Leaders have the hard part of not only deciding what steps they are doing themselves, but also deciding what to lead not one but TWO follows! Leaders also have to be more precise in their leading, directing follows in more confined patterns to create cohesion, but also to ensure there are no bumping issues.

Did you know that this is where prep steps, compression high fives, and combining arm leads with your body leads, becomes really important for clear leading?

Triples are a challenge, but they are so much fun!!

Join us on a Tuesday night for classes at The Victoria Hotel Yarraville!

PARTNER DANCING IS SERIOUSLY UNDERRATED! It's social, fun, expressive, good exercise, and with Social Swing Melbourne you get to choose if you're going to Lead or Follow! In fact, the follower in this clip is Jei who is the first male follower ever to compete in West Coast Swing in Australia... and he's also the main teacher in class... so you know you're in good hands ;-)

Join us on a Thursday night at The Victoria Hotel Yarraville where we have dinner at 6pm, and classes kick off from 7pm, ending the night with social dancing from 830pm to close at 930pm.

Beginners are welcome, the Foundation class at 745pm is where you'll fit right in, learning the foundation steps of Passes, Pushes, Whips and Starter Steps over a 4 week rotation. No need to wait for the beginning of the rotation, every week is a stand alone class where you learn foundation steps that you can immediately use to get up and get social dancing straight after class!

WEST COAST SWING SOCIAL CLASSES ARE ON EVERY THURSDAY NIGHT AT The Victoria Hotel Yarraville... Fun, social, great exercise, and beginners are always welcome! You don't need to bring a partner as we swap partners during class so dancers get a feel for different leads and follows 🙂

Extensions Class - is for dancers who can dance the basic movements of West Coast Swing that we teach in Foundations Class: Passes, Pushes, Whips and Starter Steps - we use the theme of the week and build onto our foundation steps with variations and technique.

Foundations Class - is for beginner dancers, and for more skilled dancers to master their foundation steps. As a social dancing studio our aim is for you to lead and follow on the social floor with anyone, anywhere, FREESTYLE... which means living in the moment, expressing yourself to every song, without routines!

We cycle through 4 weeks, with each week being a different theme of movement, where we always cover a Left Side Pass and Ride Side Underarm Pass as well as the theme of the week. This means that each week the Foundation Class is a stand alone lesson that newbies or beginners can attend without prior knowledge. You can use what you learn after even just one class, to dance with other students during the social dance time!

In the West Coast Swing community in general, and especially in the Social Swing Melbourne classes, it is entirely normal for dancers to dance any role they choose! Both our instructors are Switches, which means they dance both roles... and Jei is actually the first male follow to compete in Australia :-) It's your dance, so you choose which role you dance!
