Margie Adams
began her dance training in San Diego in her youth, training in classical ballet, tap and contemporary dance. Later she became fascinated with social dancing and the idea of communicating through the connection with a dance partner. Her love of dancing led her to several great dance experiences including artistic director & choreographer for her SwingFX performance dance team providing swing dance entertainment for hire for corporate & private events for several years. She also hosted the Swing Jam Friday weekly dance venue for many years and the Jitterbug club weekly dance venue when it moved to the Dance for 2 studio. Margie's skills on the dance floor and her teaching skills unexpectedly also opened the door to becoming an annual international guest instructor at major European dance conventions in France and Germany for 10 years and at requested workshop weekends in Lucerne, London, Brussels, Bern, Paris, Vienna and Edinburgh. Described by those who know her, Margie is an exceptional instructor and stylish dancer. Her students return to her classes and often refer her to others. She offers weekly classes and is available for private lessons in west coast swing, nightclub two step, wedding dance, lindy, balboa, cha cha and foxtrot. She also teaches a special Ladies only Dance Technique & Quality of Movement workshop series. For more details, please contact her at (619) 291-3775. You can usually find Margie on the dance floor at the San Diego Swing Dance Club event on Sundays and you may just find her on the dance floor at another of San Diego's west coast swing dance events. Share the joy, keep dancing.

CLASSES

Concurrent West Coast Swing classes at Introductory and Intermediate Level are held from 1:30-2:30 each Sunday except on the 4th Sunday when we have a special, extra-cost, advanced workshop. Except for that advanced workshop, attending these classes is free with paid admission to the dance.  No experience is required for the beginner-level lesson.

Dance admission is $10 for members, $15 for non members. A full year of membership is just $35.

San Diego County residents may attend their first dance for free including the Free Lesson on days when they are taught. The exception is for the special class on the 4th Sunday which always costs extra.


A Special, more challenging workshop is held on the 4th Sunday of each month.  This workshop will be taught by a local or out-of-town professional instructor and there is an extra $10 fee. Usually West Coast Swing is taught.


On the First Sunday of the month, a dance other than West Coast Swing is taught in the main ballroom. In most cases, the Introductory WCS class IS still taught on the 1st Sunday.

Our music mix includes music for other dances, including Country Two-Step, Nightclub Two-Step, Waltz, Cha Cha, etc.  On each "First Sunday" we take the opportunity to teach one of these dances.


Details on the current week's classes or workshops are elsewhere on this page and in the "calendar" section of the website.
