American Tango: The Tango came to America in the last century and has been featured in many memorable movies. The dance is smooth, slow and slinky with open positions, fans, and dips. It progresses around the dance floor and uses catlike walks and staccato foot movements. West Coast Swing: This dance consists of six and eight count patterns, which are done in a slot. This dance is usually done to medium tempo swing music, frequently slower than East Coast swing. However, those who achieve a high skill level in this dance can and do dance it to faster tempo music. This dance has no bounce and a very smooth feel. *No Class: 1/20 & 2/17.
