Madison West Coast Swing Club

Madison West Coast Swing Club The Madison WCS Club is a social, non-profit organization dedicated to promoting West Coast Swing!

West Coast Swing is a laid-back, improvisational, contemporary, and expressive dance done to a wide variety of music, including R&B, pop, blues, jazz, hip hop, and country. You’ll recognize artists such as Ed Sheeran, Michael Jackson, Keb’ Mo’, Meghan Trainor, Aretha Franklin, Charlie Puth, and Selena Gomez. We emphasize building a welcoming, inclusive community while having a great time dancing.

Our current members enjoy learning the intricacies of this playful, sophisticated dance as they progress, and newcomers enjoy meeting a group of friendly new people. You do not need to have a partner to come out and dance with us!

Happy Labor Day Westies!

There are still slots open for our beginner lesson series starting this Wednesday at 6:30! It's the perfect place to begin your dancing journey, no experience required, no partner required, just some regular socks or dancing shoes and a good attitude. Perhaps a water bottle if you really want to be prepared - but that's really it. And if you already dance, this is a great way to refresh on your basics!

See our website for more details and registration: https://mwcsc.org/dance-lessons/beginner-lesson-series/ #!event/2025/9/3/beginner-a-lesson-series-9-3-through-10-8

See you all tomorrow for our regularly scheduled Tuesday dance as well!
