Dance is Dance FAQ
What's the location?
The DanceVancouver studio is on the second floor of 1627 W. Broadway at Fir. Unfortunately, this venue is not wheelchair accessible. We acknowledge that this venue is situated on the unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
Do I need to register with a partner?
Nope. Partner? No partner? Multiple parters? NO PROBLEM, we can accommodate everyone!
I've never danced before. Will this be over my head?
Nope! It's designed to teach West Coast Swing from scratch.
I've danced WCS in my Ballroom classes. Is it the same thing?
Nope! Authentic West Coast Swing is quite a different style from Ballroom West Coast Swing. We think you will find it more relaxed, funky, and organic. But you may find some of the steps familiar.
I'm an LGBTQ2S+ ally. May I participate?
You bet! This is an inclusive event.
What should I wear/bring?
Dress comfortably so you can move and sweat (good reminder to take care of your hygiene too!). The important thing is the shoes: make sure they are not too sticky rubber soles, or too high heels, because these will make turning difficult. Bring a waterbottle and we recommend a hand fan - not just to be fabulous, but actually to cool off. The A/C works great, but if we're having fun, we'll sweat!
