Curriculum & Level Advancement

Our West Coast Swing program follows a structured curriculum designed to help every student build strong, lasting skills. Each level has a defined set of techniques, concepts, and competencies that must be mastered before progressing to the next level.

Rather than advancing based on time spent in class, students move up when they consistently demonstrate the skills and expectations for their current level. This ensures everyone enters the next class prepared, allowing instructors to teach more effectively and students to continue progressing with confidence.

Monthly Evaluations

Evaluations are held on the first Wednesday of each month at 6:00 PM. During these evaluations, instructors assess each student's readiness based on the learning objectives for their current level.

Our evaluation process is supportive and designed to celebrate progress while providing clear feedback on the skills needed for advancement. When you've mastered the curriculum for your level, you'll be invited to move up and continue your West Coast Swing journey.
