ASTORIA — The Astoria Arts & Movement Center welcomes prospective dance students to a four-week beginning-level West Coast Swing Dance Class.

West Coast swing is a smooth, sensual variation of the Lindy hop or jitterbug that showcases the lady. It can be danced to a range of music, from jazz and blues to country and rock.

Taught by instructor Jen Miller, the class series takes place once a week at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 7, 14, 21 and 28 at the Astoria Arts & Movement Center, located at 342 10th St.

No partner is required, no experience is necessary, and two left feet are welcome.

Class is $45 per person for the entire series or $15 per person to drop in.

Class is an hour long, followed by a student-led swing practice hour at 8:30 p.m. Admission is free for class students and $5 for drop-ins. For more information, contact Miller via email at jen@floorplay.net or visit www.floorplay.net
