Join Las Vegas's largest West Coast Swing dance every Friday night. Beginner classes at 7 PM, followed by social dancing until 11 PM. Only $15 admission includes class and 4+ hours of dancing.
Thank you for visiting our website and sharing our passion for West Coast Swing. We are a group of West Coasters that put on a West Coast Swing Dance Every Friday. If you are coming to Las Vegas, we would love you to join us on Friday at 7:00 p.m.
Check with the staff to inquire about an "After Party" held after the dance if you still need more WCS. Once every month, immediately following the dance wrap-up, we organize an after-party. During this event, we venture out for delicious food and refreshing drinks, and after clearing a few tables, we indulge in additional dancing. It is always a delightful occasion where we bond and have a great time eating, talking, and dancing, which fosters fellowship. If you seek an environment to cultivate lasting friendships, this is the perfect place. We warmly welcome you to join our group.
Our West Coast Swing Classes give you more than just steps; they allow you to learn the terminology and techniques of TODAY's WCS, making it easy to understand and learn. Each class is designed to help you build strong fundamentals while keeping up with the modern style of the dance. You'll explore connection, rhythm, musicality, styling, and partnership skills that make social dancing more enjoyable. Whether you're brand new or brushing up your technique, our classes create a fun, supportive, and encouraging space to grow confidently.
For all Famous Friday's daily activities, follow us on Facebook. Famous Friday is Las Vegas's Largest West Coast Swing Dance, where we turn down the lights and crank up the music every Friday for over 4 hours. This is where we post our Weekly Dance Flyers detailing our current specials, door prizes, promotions, and who is DJing that week. We also post details on our weekly "Tue House Practices," where we add more content to our introductory WCS class we give FREE on Friday at our dance we call "Famous Friday." You will also find posts on upcoming "Workshop Weekends" that we hold monthly, where we bring in Guest WSDC Instructors. Also, you will find our weekly Cat Meme Dance Reminder posts, which are always fun and entertaining.
There is also a link to our Private Group, "WCS Traving Socials," where we share places in Vegas where we also dance WCS in town. Feel free to follow us on Facebook and our online calendar to keep up with all our activities throughout the year.

Are you ready to discover the excitement of West Coast Swing? Known as one of the most versatile partner dances, this modern twist on classic swing can be enjoyed with an incredible variety of music styles, including Rhythm and Blues, Hip-Hop, Pop, and Contemporary. What makes it especially appealing is its adaptability—it welcomes both beginners just starting their journey and experienced dancers looking to refine their artistry.
One of the best parts about West Coast Swing is how quickly you can begin. The basic steps are easy to learn, and from there, the possibilities for creativity and expression are endless. This dance is also highly social, inviting you to connect with others in a fun and welcoming environment. Its unique partner connection—created through extension and compression—gives the dance its signature elastic look and feel, while opening the door for plenty of playful improvisation.
If you're a visual learner, you'll love the "slotted" nature of West Coast Swing, where partners move back and forth within a defined space on the dance floor. The foundation is built upon six classic patterns: the Push, two variations of the Pass, the Whip, the Tuck, and the Starter. Once these are mastered, you'll find countless ways to expand, embellish, and personalize your dancing.
West Coast Swing is more than just a dance—it's an experience. Smooth yet dynamic, structured yet creative, it allows dancers to explore musicality and expression in every moment. Whether you're dancing socially, performing, or simply enjoying the music, West Coast Swing fosters joy, connection, and an uplifting atmosphere that keeps dancers engaged, inspired, and smiling every step of the way.
Four-Week Progressive WCS class
We offer a Four-Week Progressive Basic class each Friday at our dance. All levels are welcome, and you don't need a partner. Each week, we build on what you have learned in the week before. We rotate partners so that you can learn from our more experienced dancers. More Info
Famous Friday Private Lessons Private dance lessons offer students personalized attention, faster progress, and a deeper understanding of technique. Unlike group classes, each session is tailored to your goals, strengths, and challenges, ensuring efficient improvement. Private lessons also build confidence, refine style, and strengthen performance quality. More Info
Monthly WCS Workshop
We also provide a monthly WCS Workshop where we bring into town WCS Dance Teachers from all around the National WCS Community to teach our local dancers the latest in dance technics, concepts, and moves that are trending today in the WCS national community and event circuit. All you will need is a fundamental concept of WCS. More Info
Alternatively
Alternatively, you can learn through online video tutorials from websites like jtswing.com or kylesarah.com. These resources make it easy to practice at your own pace and learn the steps when it's convenient for you. Before moving on to more complex steps, it's crucial to practice and build your confidence with the basics. With regular practice, you'll be able to master challenging moves in no time.
Amazing people! Fantastic music! Super friendly and GREAT dancers who are patient, helpful, and kind to new learners.
Famous Friday was an absolute blast! I danced all night long and the energy was infectious. The music was fantastic, and I even picked up some cool West Coast Swing moves. Definitely coming back next week for more fun!
Not to be confused with another studio claiming to be a west coast swing dance center, THIS is the place for WCS on Friday nights. Michelle is the host and offers excellent instruction in the foundation of the dance. Lots of fun!!
What a fantastic evening! The atmosphere at Famous Friday was electric. I thoroughly enjoyed learning the nuances of West Coast Swing; the instructor was excellent. I can't wait to practice what I learned and return soon.
Attended our first Famous Friday West Coast Swing class tonight. The teacher said we did really good for our first time ever. Said we went all in which she loved. Everyone there was super helpful and encouraging. Looking forward to going back next week.
I had such a wonderful time at Famous Friday. The dance floor was lively, and I found myself dancing for hours. The introduction to West Coast Swing was well-structured and easy to follow. Highly recommend this event!
The people are welcoming, and the music makes you want to dance! There is plenty of floor space for everyone! If you want a place to west coast swing on Fridays, make this your place to go. From beginner to experienced, this is a event for everyone.
This was my first time at Famous Friday, and I was blown away by how friendly everyone was. I felt so welcome and had some amazing dances. Plus, the West Coast Swing lesson gave me a solid foundation to build on.
The special bond they share with this "dance family" will be in my heart forever, and it is due to all the dancing and fun times we have had, and I feel so much healthier now. Thank you.
I'm determined to get better at West Coast Swing, and Famous Friday seems like the perfect place! The atmosphere is encouraging, and I loved practicing with different partners. Looking forward to the next event!
The total inclusivity and creative freedom that this community promotes aligns with the reason I enjoy to social dance so much! The joy I share with others, on the dance floor, continues to ignite my passion for learning and growing as a dancer.
The free dance lesson at Famous Friday was a game-changer! They explained the West Coast Swing fundamentals so clearly. I finally understand some of the finer points I've struggled with before. So much fun!
I am so happy to have joined this group of dancers. I still need a lot of practice, but this dance group has helped me understand who I am as a dancer and what I need to improve. Thank you so much.
You can go for the lessons and stay for the social and dance the night away with a fantastic group of Westies that often become your dance family and good friends in and outside the dance world. They are such a wonderfully supportive group that want to share their love of West Coast Swing to all that are interested.
This year has been amazing! It means a lot to me when you take the time in class to show me the correct way to dance west coast. It's much easier and so much fun. I love this dance!
