We make it a point to ascertain the style of swing, starting with your prefered music, that you will enjoy the most and teach you step by step until you no longer need us. Whether you choose to study at your own pace with a private lesson program, as a community in a group setting or a combination of the two, we will custom tailor a program just for you. Our staff teaches swing dance lessons at charity events including Lindy Hop St. Louis and has helped students compete and win at dance competitions across the country. We offer group lessons once per week and private lessons on most days. Swing styles we offer include: • East Coast Swing, Lindy Hop, West Coast Swing and Hustle.
We came here because we didn't know anything about any salsa classes or studios. In hindsight, we got so lucky we ended up here. What we thought would be just Salsa 1 ended up as Salsa 2A and Salsa 2B, then Bachata. We are hooked because these folks make dancing fun and easy for anyone. Super unfortunate but I ended up busting my knee and went to Carter, the Chiropractor, for therapy. So glad he was there because I'm back to my old self again.
Convergence is by far the best dance studio I've ever been to! I have been going for about three years now and I still learn so many new things each week! There are a wide array of classes, of which I have taken salsa and tango (both spectacular). Every instructor is helpful and extremely knowledgeable about every dance style taught there! The classes also range from beginner level to advanced, so there is something for everyone! I highly recommend this studio for anyone looking to learn new dances and also for more experienced dancers who want to learn even more!
I'm not sure I've ever actually expressed to you what a big deal it is for me to now feel comfortable at a social dance. I was almost pathologically shy as a teenager and not knowing how to dance, or how to ask for a dance without being gleefully rejected, was one of the ongoing themes of my youth. This past year it has been *profoundly* gratifying to put some of those old ghosts to rest, and have a hell of a good time in the process. Thanks. I mean it.
This 8 week adv beginner West Coast Swing class will help the newer dancers continue to build on the fundamentals of connection, lead follow and flow in a more fluid way so that they are able to enjoy the dance beyond the basics with more fun and style. We will work on more complex passes, and whip turns as well as basic style points and drills to help the really motivated learn faster. No need for a partner but we do gender balance the classes so please sign up early and get your friends involved. The more the merrier and it is always fun to share exciting activities with friends!
West Coast Swing is predominately danced to pop, R&B and some blues. It is fun, creative and can be danced everywhere!
