Welcome WCS Dancers Young And Old.
Learn WCS With Us At Here At Famous Friday.
Meet Our Host and Volunteer's.
Welcome all. 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. for our Basic Intro Class with practice music afterward. The WCS Dance follows, and we dance till 11:00+pm. That's four hours of West Coast Swing for ONLY $15.
Check with the staff to inquire about an "After Party" that will be 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 some 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 a great fellowship. If you seek an environment to cultivate lasting friendships, this is the perfect place. We warmly welcome you to join our group.
Our Basic Intro 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. We have assembled a practice playlist to teach by and provide this list to help you practice at home. By providing the music, we eliminate the frustration of searching for suitable tracks. Moreover, the selected music has a consistent and easy-to-follow rhythm, allowing you to synchronize your movements with the West Coast Swing beat comfortably.
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 dance the West Coast Swing? One of the most versatile dances out there, this modern twist on classic swing can be danced to a wide range of music styles, including Rhythm and Blues, Hip-Hop, Pop, and Contemporary. The beauty of this dance is that it's adaptable to all skill levels, so whether you're a beginner or advanced dancer, there's something for everyone.
Not only is it easy to learn the basic moves, but it also allows for endless creativity and self-expression, making it a great way to socialize and have fun. One of the defining features of West Coast swing is its partner connection using an extension-compression technique, creating an elastic look and allowing for plenty of improvisation. If you're a visual learner, you'll love dancing in the slotted area on the dance floor. The foundational patterns of the West Coast Swing include six standard moves: Push, Pass (2), Whip, Tuck, and Starter.
Four-Week Progressive Basic Intro class
We offer a Four-Week Progressive Basic Intro 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. Click Here For More Information
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. Click Here For More Information
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.
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!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!

Every Friday there is a West Coast Swing Dance in Las Vegas. It is called "Famous Friday" and given by the Famous Friday Club. This dance starts at 7:30 to 10:30 every friday at 5875 S Rainbow Blvd, Suite 206, Las Vegas. There are two dances that are put on once a month in Las Vegas area. These are "All-in Swing" in Las Vegas and "Dam Dance" that is also given once a month in Boulder City just outside of Las Vegas. You can fine more information about these dances on our calender.
Traveling Socials refers to the gathering of like minded west coast swing dancers to seek out venues that they can dance in a public setting and pass out flyers. Typically, the location is desided on in advanced and given to the dancers as they enter the dance. Also they can be found on the website or mobile app. Once you follow the club on its social network or Facebook page reciving this information is quite easy. You can see the results of some of the traveling socials by going to the facebook page of the clubs that provide these events. The Traveling Socials players like Las Vegas-based "Famous Friday" club will pop up thru-out the month. They also put out an newletter that will list some of these activitys.
The after party is just that, a party given right after the dance. The location is given out at the begining of the dance. Most of the time it is at a close by Lounge/Bar/Tavern that has food, drinks and a floor to dance on if the right music. Usuly it dosent take long before our DJ is filling the jute box with greate west coast swing music selations.
