Ballroom and West Coast Swing Turn Exercise for Better, Easier Turns while dancing in Reno or anywhere.

Ballroom dances, Latin dancing and West Coast Swing dance whether here in Reno or Sparks Nv is huge and everyone wants to look good on the social dance floor.   You don't need to be competing to want to become the best dancer you can become.  

Turns are a big part of looking your best on the ballroom dance floor.  Here is a video I made at the Ballroom of Reno School of Dance to help make turns easy...okay easier.  Turns are what you put into them and if you practice for just five minutes a day.  Yeah, I said five minutes you will become really good at turns, but if you don't practice anything, well you won't.

Watch the video and see what I mean then get up and do the stupid thing we taught you!


Oh, by the way, you have always wanted to dance or get back into dancing. It is a fantastic way to meet new people, have a wonderful date night, or dance to get back into shape.

Move your body every day through Ballroom, Latin, and West Coast Swing and have some freaking fun while you exercise #dancefitness.

  West Coast Swing in Reno is So Much More Than Just Dancing What do I mean it is more than just dancing?  Well, we are a dance family.  If you are new to The West Coast Swing Community from Sparks, Carson, and Reno areas you will discover that having this common bond, everyone just seems to come together and you start to miss people when they don't show up for a couple weeks.   Monthly West Coast Swing Club Dances We have great WCS dance clubs that meet once a month. There is a great one in Reno called Biggest Little Swing Dance Club or as we call it BLSDC (Balistic) Here is a link to the website  http://blsdc.org/  and Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/BiggestLittleSwingDanceClub    Carson has a really fun club called High Sierra Swing dance club  http://hssdc.org/ Don't forget about our sister club in Sacramento!   Capital Swing Dancers Dance  https://www.capitalswingdancers.org/ Weekly Classes I have three weekly classes at the Ballroom of Reno School of Dance Studio.    G

West Coast Swing Dancing in Reno and Sparks

  West Coast Swing Dancing in Reno and Sparks Now when we say we have a swing dance club or are going swing dancing, we actually mean we have a West Coast Swing Dance Club or going to dance WCS.  They don't play East Coast Swing music but the music that triples you could dance ECS to it.

  Are Private Lessons Worth the Cost for Ballroom, Latin or Swing Dancing? Can I be super honest with you? Yes. Now you may be thinking he is only saying that because he makes his living teaching ballroom and west coast swing dance in Reno .  But I will tell you the truth about learning to dance at my level.  I have spent more money than most college tuitions charge on my dancing and 95 percent of it was on private lessons.  It did not matter what the cost was because I would only study with champions.  It did not matter if it was my Ballroom, Latin (yes, I used to compete as a Latin Ballroom dancer), or West Coast Swing coach, they had to be a champion.   Why am I bringing up that I only took lessons with champions?  Well, it's because I wanted to be a champion and that was the only way I knew to get there.   Do you need to take lessons with champions only? Hell no!   Why in the heck would you spend lots of money to get the information you might not be ready for? I even tell peopl
