West Coast Swing
About the Program
Classes at Dance Vancouver will be taught by both Myles and Tessa, and local teachers who have been trained in the Swing Literacy Methodology. This means no matter what WCS class you take, you'll be getting high quality instruction with the most current techniques and style, all within a progressive curriculum.
Classes with Champions
Myles Munroe & Tessa Cunningham Munroe are Champion West Coast Swing dancers and master teachers. After years of touring globally to teach, judge, and perform, they are excited to offer for the first time in 10 years, in-person classes once again in Vancouver.
New classes start every 4 weeks
