The West Coast Swing education app
West Coast Swing, taught as a language.
WSDC Champion Jesse Lopez's complete curriculum in your pocket, including a daily practice path, solo drill videos, and the full vocabulary of the dance.
Daily practice
Know what to practice today.
The BLC app delivers one drill a day. Every drill opens with a demonstration at full speed, includes a breakdown if it's new to you, and comes with written instructions. Just put on a song and dance it out. Tomorrow's drill unlocks automatically.
Your progress
Watch your spark grow.
As a dancer, you know how important it is to protect your inner fire. The BLC app helps your spark grow every time you practice: build a streak, level up, unlock flame colors and earn your BLC badges. Competing? Link your WSDC ID to see your points by division and a map of everywhere you've danced.
The vocabulary
Learn the words. Speak the dance fluently.
BLC names what dancers feel but rarely know how to say. 282 terms in one searchable library that's growing all the time, organized into a meaningful and intuitive classification system, with flashcards to make them stick.
Lesson recording
Every lesson, remembered.
Record a private lesson right in the app. When it ends you get a summary and the full transcript, and your partner or teacher can get a copy too.
The method
Every pattern has three pieces: go, do, stay.
BLC teaches every pattern as a sentence with three separate pieces: travel, objective, anchor. Recognize it in one pattern and you start understanding it in all of them. Use this key to stop memorizing footwork and start expressing the dance.

“West Coast Swing isn't a syllabus of memorized patterns. It's a human language, shared kinetically between two people. Once you know the language, you stop getting stuck in pattern boxes and start improvising.”
