West Coast Swing in Yerevan

Dancing West Coast Swing since 2012. Trained with coaches from Moscow and Saint Petersburg, participated in 20+ international events.

Frequently Asked Questions

I don't have time for a new dance style

The program is flexible and individual. 2-4 lessons are enough to start. You set the pace. WCS can be integrated into your existing schedule as an additional class.

Will this compete with my current classes?

WCS attracts a different audience — people who want contemporary music. This expands your student base rather than cannibalizing it. Many students take multiple dance styles.

Is WCS too difficult to teach?

The beginner curriculum is well-structured. You'll get ready-made 3-month lesson plans and ongoing support. Your teaching experience is your main advantage.

I'm not good enough at WCS myself

You don't need to be a champion to teach beginners. You need to understand basic principles and methodology. You'll grow along with your students.

Is there demand for WCS in Yerevan?

7 successful cohorts and a community of 100+ people prove there is. More entry points mean more people discovering the dance.

I don't want to depend on another school

We don't create dependency. After training, you're fully autonomous: your brand, your prices, your schedule. Our goal is WCS growth, not control.

How much does it cost?

Private lesson — 10,000 AMD/hour. 2-4 lessons are enough to start (20-40K AMD). It's an investment that pays off with your first student group.
