What is Level Up Online?

Level Up is an online community for dancers who love West Coast Swing and want to keep improving, no matter where they live.

Most dancers hit the same roadblocks:

  • Limited access to high-level pros
  • Confusion about what to focus on next
  • Feeling isolated between classes and events

Level Up exists to bridge that gap.

It’s not a course, and it’s not a replacement for local classes or events. It’s a place to stay connected, keep learning, and gain perspective from both pros and peers throughout your dance journey.

Meet Your Host

Hi, I’m Steve Fitz.

I started West Coast Swing in 2000, and like many dancers outside major scenes, I struggled with limited access to pros and the wider WCS community.
Over time, I found ways to grow beyond local classes through videos, workshops, privates, practice, online coaching and a lot of trial and error.
Level Up is the community I wish I’d had earlier.
A place where dancers can learn faster, stay motivated, and feel connected, no matter where they live.
