It's not just you

Over the past decade, West Coast Swing trends have heavily emphasized lyrical, smooth, flowy movement - which is beautiful and valuable…

But...

...as a result, many dancers never fully developed:

upper body pulse
rhythmic footwork control
confidence in physically riding the rhythms
an understanding of the true roots of Swing

So they end up:

thinking about math and forcing musicality
relying on patterns, poses, and flow to stay interesting
panicking when the music gets more rhythmic
maybe looking good but not really matching the music

And right now, that gap is becoming very visible.

Because the trend is shifting.

Rhythm is back, baby.

These days high-level dancers are gravitating to more Soul, Jazz, and Funk music.

Judges, audiences, and social dancers are all responding more to groove and rhythm more than flow & poses.

The dancers who can actually groove?

They stand out immediately.

The good news:

This is one of the fastest skills you can improve in your dancing.

And you don’t need more patterns to fix it.

You need to train your body differently.

Want to upgrade your GROOVE to feel more connected to the music without relying on your partner...

Get a powerful collection of progressive drills in a strategic order that help you Inject effortless musicality and confidence into your dance with any partner and any song. No partner required.

Less robot. More soul.

In this challenge, we'll guide you through a fun, strategically structured series of follow-along drills ONLINE...
to help you build better body pulse and groove skills that make your dancing feel relaxed, rhythmic, and expressive...
so you can breathe more soul into your dance between and inside of the patterns you already do:

Vibe better with each song

by building a consistent and adaptable body pulse

Expand your repertoire

to avoid defaulting to the same old stylings you’re bored with

Refine your footwork and bodywork

to control your tools so you can create better art

Increase groove complexity step by step

with a strategic set of progressive follow-along drills

Integrate grooves into real patterns

not just a styling combo you learn once and forget

Express musicality with less effort

more poetry, less math

Beyond styling

These are the same groove training concepts we use with dancers in the Swing Literacy training system.

Where groove isn’t taught as styling…

But as a trainable body skill that connects:

Body Pulse
Rhythms
Culture
and Personal Expression

And the transformation can happen surprisingly fast.

Our past Challenges have seen over 12,000 dancers of all levels from 38 countries see massive differences in their dancing, in just ONE WEEK - all online

And for many of them, this is the missing piece that finally makes their dancing feel alive.

Why Groove Matters

When dancers develop pulse & groove, their dancing instantly looks more musical:

WCS with pulse:

you look like you are actually dancing, not just walking
your timing becomes more consistent
your body relaxes and aligns more with the music
you don't have to rely on patterns to feel like you're dancing

WCS with groove:

you feel comfortable dancing between the patterns
your musicality becomes more expressive
you have more freedom and options with any partner
the dance feels more like a conversation - more like poetry, less like an essay.

Groove = fastest visual upgrade you can make at any level. Plus it makes you a WAY more fun partner!

And most dancers never train it directly.

Elasticity was one of the most important skills that I had been totally missing for my first several years of WCS (of course I had heard teachers talk about stretch all the time, but I never understood what that actually meant or how to do it), and once I learned it, it suddenly opened up my dancing and allowed me to have way more fun dances with everyone! I'm excited to get to further refine and upgrade my elasticity skills during this challenge!

This is my first time trying your methods and I am so impressed. I also can’t thank you enough for the growth mindset. I struggle with thinking I’m not good enough and this made a huge difference if wanting to just keep trying even if I’m training ugly!

My aha moment was discovering how much easier spinning is when I incorporate as many of the techniques taught this week into my spins. There were so many elements missing that I will have to work on, but I see and feel the different that just these 7 days have made. I can’t wait to see how things are as I work through this more and more.

After this seven awesome super Challenge days, I can't but give you my gratitude.

You are not only top professionals but splendid teachers. Your detailed tips, instructions and also encouragement are undoubtedly great virtues of you both.

Happy to be so fortunate to have this chance to learn from you.

Congratulations and THANK YOU.

FAQ

How much time will it take?
Each daily video is less than 15 minutes. Then practicing your daily challenge will take about another 15 minutes, which you can spread out throughout your day.

I'm busy the week of APR 11-15. Can I do it later?
Sorry, no. This is a free pop-up Challenge we only offer once or twice a year, so take advantage of it as much as you can - it'll be worth it!

What level is this for?
All levels - We will show you how to adjust the difficulty level of each drill.
This Challenge is not going to teach you how to dance West Coast Swing - it's aimed at dancers who are already familiar with their basic patterns.
Advanced dancers will enjoy nerding out with the detailed analysis, the bonus challenges and the optional Advanced Challenge Extension upgrade.

Do I need a partner?
Not for the daily Challenge drills. (You'll be surprised how much progress we can help you make solo!) But you will definitely want to try them out in social dancing!

When are the classes?
There are no classes: Each day for 5 days, you will receive an email with the drills for that day for you to practice. In the Challenge Facebook group, we will be providing daily free interactive feedback and coaching to help you maximize your results and get to the finish line!

Do I have to be on Facebook?
You could easily use Instagram instead for all your Challenge posts! But all of the coaching and community is going to be in the Facebook group. You'll want to be on Facebook for this special week.

This Challenge is perfect for

Social dancers who:
