Wow, thank you!
This past Sunday, we had over 50 wonderful people come to our kickoff West Coast Swing dance in Fredericksburg at Strictly Ballroom! We are so thankful to everyone for all the support as we work to build a warm, welcoming community in the Fredericksburg / Spotsylvania, VA area. We call ourselves “Spotsy Westies.” ![]()

What Our Students Say

“Mané and Roger are the dream team. We find it very helpful to get instruction from both the leader’s and follower’s viewpoint. We learn new patterns easily because they break them down step by step and we love their focus on style and technique. They are patient, kind and enthusiastic. They love West Coast swing and we love learning it from them.”
Melanie & Dave

“Roger and Mané were excellent dance teachers. We came to them at the last moment in a panic to prepare for our son’s wedding. They not only reassured us but also took us from being novices to being confident enough to do the Father-Daughter and Mother-Son dances at really short notice. And we have great pictures to prove this! We highly recommend them for all of your dancing needs.”
