DANCE CLUB LESSON & WCS DANCE INFORMATION
Valley Swing Dance Club Weekly Dance Night
JOIN US ! ... COME DANCE WITH US.
If your looking for a fun
and easy way to get some exercise, get out of the house or just to meet NEW
people, West Coast Swing dancing with the Valley
Swing Dance Club is the way to go. Are You tired of sitting around the house
with your significant other, arguing about the remote ... or maybe new to the
area ... Need some exercise ... Work to much or maybe just need to re-enter
the singles social scene in a friendly environment etc. ... try West Coast Swing
dancing.
Its FUN, SAFE and GREAT EXERCISE and most
of all cost less than a movie. (You do not need to be a member to participate .)
We get a good turnout throughout the night with great people of all races, Religions,
Ethinic Backgrounds and All Ages (average age is thirty something's with
some older and younger .)
If you already dance 'West Coast Swing' you will have a good
time with other people who enjoy dancing West Coast Swing in the San Fernando
Valley (Southern California) and surrounding areas as well as other dances like
Hustle, NC2S, Salsa an more. We get a great mix of dancers from young to old
and from Beginning to Champion Dancers alike.
Plus the earlier intermediate and up dance
lesson at 8:30 can give you a new step or three. So what are you waiting for
... come dance with us. V.S.D.C. Membership is never required but joining can
save you $$$.
ARE YOU NEW TO DANCE
"The hardest part
about learning how to dance is showing up" ... SO SHOW UP!
If your new you probably feel like you have two left feet, maybe un-coordinated
and don't want to look silly or feel stupid in front of other people. You may
even feel you can't do it cause you have never danced before and everyone else
knows how. If that's the only reason you are holding back ... 'forget-about-it'
... as this is a very common feeling with 'ALL' who take up dancing and no one
will be judging you while you are learning, as they are to busy feeling just
like you (you may even learn how to laugh at yourself from time to time ).
If you can walk, count to eight and want to do something
else besides watch TV or search the Net you can learn to SOCIAL DANCE. But,
be prepared ... the first week is fun, but can be a little scary, confusing
and intimidating your very first time ... so relax and just have some fun and
don't take it so seriously, we'll do that for you. So let us worry about your
progress!. It is exhilarating, fun and Good Exercise. Plus it makes the people
at work think you "HAVE A LIFE" (wink ;) ... (Average learning
time is around four Wednesdays to feel comfortable about dancing after the class .)
New "Beginner Dance Classes" start on the "FIRST
Wednesday" of each Month
... see Schedule!
Q): Will I be the only one
who doesn't know how to this West
Coast Swing thing;
A): No. There are many who are there for their
first or second time each and every week.
Q): But will the better dancers think that i'm
really lame at dancing (cause I am);
A): No! but answer me this; two short months
from now, when you have the idea and you see someone new show up for the first
time, will you think that of them or will you think "Kewl, someone new
to dance with at the end of the month" ... no one will think your lame
(except yourself lol ).
Q): But, I'm so bad I don't even have a partner;
A): Unless your married, neither does anyone
else. Singles, not couples make up the majority of dancers (yes, there are
many couples who dance as well, but the singles are the majority ).
Q): Do I need to get a Tutu or Ballet shoes
or something;
A): LOL ... No, regular night club attire is
all you need, leather soled shoes are preferred.
Q): I heard I have to do stretches and splits
and stuff ... I don't want to do that stuff.
A): LOL ... neither do we and we don't. The
hardest thing you will have to do is count upto 8, walk and triple step (three
quick little steps ) and show up each week, by the end of the month your
dancing.
Q): I heard 'real men don't dance' but my wife
really want's to do this ... Argggh!
A): LOL, Yeah, this one is funny. Real men are
not to scared to do anything and know what makes their woman happy and strive
to do it. Weak, lazy men made up this line to get out of trying plus the film
industry likes to use this tag line. Forget the rumors and myths about dance
as 99% are not true ... your gonna have fun and make new friends ... what are
you waiting for?.
