Mr. Jonathan's Wonderful World of West Coast Swing

Learn, teach, do. The intrigue of West Coast Swing drives me to be the curious, contemplative, ever-learning student. I share what I learn by conducting classes that emphasize exploration and fun. I perform and social dance for the joy and connection that West Coast Swing Dance makes with the music... and with our souls.

"All men (and women) are created equal..." This famous constitutional line is sometimes forgotten at the West Coast Swing dance venue. All too often, we find our selves "sitting this one out". Song after song. We don't feel comfortable asking someone to dance. If I'm in the room, experience-level prejudice (and shyness) takes a seat. Ask me, please ask me to dance! Ask my students to dance. Ask my mentors to dance. Life is too short. Let's spend it on the floor.

West Coast Swing at Dance New England

Twice a month Mr. Jonathan hosts a West Coast Swing PIZZA party at DNE School of Dance. If swing is your thing than this is the place for you every 1st and 3rd Friday of the month. The floor is fast and loose and Mr. Jonathan brings nothing but his "A Game" as he spins Blues, Jazz, Swing, contemporary, and pop hits for you to dance the night away. You do not need a partner and a complimentary beginner lesson is available to anyone looking to learn the basics. If you happen to be one of those cool swing cats with your basics down and you are looking to kick your swing into high gear there is an intermediate lesson as well.

Mr. Jonathan's Dance Instruction

Mr. Jonathan teaches West Coast Swing a little different than most instructors. The main focus is on simply having a good time during the lesson and during your time dancing. He has said, "If we take the dance or our selves too seriously we lose the reason we are here...Its Fun!"

Come learn about "Boomp!" Theory, based on a center-of-gravity-driven pulse found deep our bodies.
