We have a TON of fun in our classes and at our dances… and we hope you will join us!
Here’s a few comments from the people who take Terry’s classes:
“If you want “cool” you want West Coast Swing. It’s the ultimate swing dance that’s so worth the challenge. Terry will have you dancing in record time to her fabulous collection of music.” AK
“West Coast Swing is my favorite dance because there is so much variety. It never gets boring!
Terry has the ability to break down the moves into simple, easy to understand components.
As a follow, I love West Coast swing because there are so many opportunities to be creative.
Terry has a wealth of dance experience and teaching knowledge. She can skillfully instruct a complete beginner as well as an advanced student.” LHC
WCS is the ‘casual elegance’ of partner dancing. It combines a specific structure with lots of room for improvising to the music. Terry Baker is an excellent teacher who knows both the men’s and the women’s parts. In each group class, she teaches a new pattern that incorporates various techniques for dancers who want to improve their style as well as expand their repertoire of moves. JM
“West Coast Swing is an absolute blast! I’ve learned SO much in Terry’s class. It stretched my comfort zone (which is always a good thing!) Terry is an excellent teacher – she really knows her stuff and finds ways to very effectively express it to her students.” AD
“This summer when my schedule got busy I cancelled all my other leisure activities but this one!”
“I was pretty hopeless when I started but now I have lots of fun dancing West Coast Swing! (And you can dance it to all kinds of music.)” AD
“Learning West Coast Swing has been one of the most fun experiences of my life.” BL
“West Coast Swing is such a versatile dance, easily used for current hits, rock and roll, blues, Latin rhythms – just about anything. Terry doesn’t just teach “where do I place my feet?’ but the subtle underlying mechanics that make the dance look – and feel – so cool. She teaches how to have a dynamic, impromptu conversation between the leader and follower, following what the top professionals teach and preparing each class to illustrate key principles.” JSC
“Terry has been building a vibrant West Coast Swing community in Fairfield for many years. Taking lessons and developing a dance style is much more enriching when there are opportunities to share and dance with a group of fellow dancers at different skill levels.” JM
“So you think you can dance? Terry Baker’s West Coast Swing lessons will prove you right!
In a group session, she gives individual attention that brings out your inner dancer par excellence.
On my own, I never would have figured out balance and connection and flow with a partner. And it’s fun knowing I can learn how the pro’s do it.” SM
