Trial Lesson
We offer trial lessons once or twice a month.
One session will be a 30-minute mini-lesson before the party, while the other will be a 1.5-hour introductory lesson where you'll learn the basic steps of West Coast Swing and dance to music.
For those who want to casually get a feel for things, we recommend a mini-lesson, and for those who want to try it out for the first time, we recommend an introductory lesson.
Both events are easy to participate in, so please feel free to come along.
Please refer to the calendar for the monthly schedule.

Level-based 3-month courses
These classes are designed for steady improvement, with fixed days of the week and fixed members. Different classes are offered depending on the level and content.
This is a 3-month continuous course, so single-session participation is generally not possible.
If you will be absent due to business trips or other reasons while participating in a continuing course, please contact us and we will make flexible arrangements.
Please note that if you wish to join the course midway through, you will need to discuss your current level beforehand. We may ask you to catch up through private lessons before joining, so please understand this in advance and contact us for a consultation.
Please refer to the calendar for class start dates.
For more detailed information about the classes, please check the latest updates in the NEWS section .
(Course starting in May 2026)

Private lessons
◎Private Lessons
If you want to steadily improve your skills at a pace and method that suits you, please consider taking a private lesson!
To truly develop your skills and learn properly, it is essential to objectively examine your own dancing through the eyes of a professional, eliminate your weaknesses, and cultivate your strengths.
Without being swayed by the voices and gazes of those around you, you can concentrate and steadily improve your skills. Once bad habits are formed, they are hard to break. It is very important to acquire the correct knowledge and sense from the beginning.
For the fastest and most efficient way to improve your skills, private lessons are highly recommended!
This is highly recommended for those who cannot make the regular group lesson schedule or who feel unsure about keeping up with group lessons. We also cater to those aspiring to become professionals.
The schedule, time, and location will be decided in consultation with the instructor.
Please feel free to contact us.

◎Dancing Machine
Industry first! Practice social skills using a professional's body!
You can dance one-on-one with an instructor in one-hour increments.
Typically, in social settings, you only get one or two opportunities to dance with an instructor.
In the world of partner dancing, it's extremely rare to even get the chance to dance with an instructor. Therefore, it tends to be difficult to grasp what it's like to actually dance with an advanced partner. Furthermore, since lessons are primarily focused on input, opportunities to actually put what you've learned into practice tend to be limited.
Dancing with an instructor allows you to re-evaluate the precision of your own leading and following based on a stable lead/follow, bringing you much closer to becoming a dancer who shines in social settings.
The instructor won't give any specific instructions; they'll simply dance with you one-on-one. This is perfect for those who feel like they haven't had enough dancing in regular lessons or social gatherings, want to dance with more skilled dancers, or want to have the instructor all to themselves. Requests from those who simply want to dance for fun are also very welcome.
Please try it out before or after your lessons, after work, or in your free time between errands!

Video Feedback
Analyzing your own dancing is extremely difficult.
Even if you have a general feeling that your dancing isn't "cool" overall, it's often difficult to pinpoint the exact reason on your own.
Based on the video you sent, our instructors will provide feedback on what the contributing factors are, which areas could be improved through practice, and what points to pay attention to.
If you're looking for detailed explanations tailored to your skill level and physical abilities and a thorough understanding through hands-on experience with an instructor, we recommend combining regular video feedback with private lessons.
You can currently take the course at a trial price, so please feel free to inquire.
【Fee】
One video (up to 3 minutes): 830 yen
*Further questions regarding the feedback will be accepted during private lessons.
Online Lessons
◎Online private/group lessons
Lessons are conducted remotely using video conferencing tools such as Google Meet and Zoom.
Since you won't actually be dancing with a partner, it's difficult to experience the unique aspects of partner dancing. However, shadowing, which you do individually, is very important as a foundation for dancing with a partner. Have the instructor check the movements you use unconsciously and the elements you are lacking through the screen.
If you are a beginner or have never experienced West Coast Swing before and would like to take online lessons, we ask that you register as a pair.
If you are already somewhat familiar with this dance and your goal is to improve your technique or skills, you can register even if you are alone.

●One-time:
・ 4,200 yen per hour
◎Video on Demand
You can now learn West Coast Swing in Japanese anytime, anywhere!
Until now, West Coast Swing could almost exclusively be learned in Tokyo. Although we receive inquiries from all over the country every day, we are not able to frequently conduct lessons in distant locations, so opportunities to learn it have been limited for people in rural areas or living overseas.
With the desire to deliver high-quality West Coast Swing lessons to people all over Japan, we are currently preparing video-on-demand learning materials.
We also offer special benefits to our subscribers.
Stay tuned!
