Argentine Tango is often mistakenly confused with Ballroom Tango but it is a very different form of dance.  Unlike its ballroom equivalent, Argentine Tango does not involve sequenced choreography, memorized steps, rapid head movements, acrobatics, nor feigned expressions of lust or passion.  Argentine Tango is an improvised, social dance, which is based on variations of walking, turning, pausing and adornments. Even though there is a basic structure and certain rules to be followed, the dancers can never truly predict how their partner will interpret the music, construct a dance or embellish it.

West Coast Swing is a partner dance with roots in the Lindy Hop. It is characterized by an elastic look that results from its extension-compression technique of partner connection and is danced primarily in a slotted area on the dance floor. The dance allows for both partners to improvise steps while dancing together, putting West Coast Swing in a short list of social dances that emphasize improvisation. Part of the appeal of WCS is that it is an adaptable dance; it can be danced to a variety of musical styles and genres.  At CDC, we offer Private Dance Lessons, Group Classes, Special Guest Workshops, and Weekly Socials and Special Events.
