Valley Swing Dance Club Weekly Dance Night

    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, Ethnic Backgrounds and All Ages (average age is thirty something's with some older and younger, minimum age is 18.)

    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 and 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 $$$.

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.)

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 up to 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?.
