TESTIMONIAL
"Shok dance gave me an incredible base of technique in WCS starting right from the beginner lesson, through to the JT swing team, and further to the level of competing. If you're looking for a well-rounded and comprehensive education in WCS, look no further! The classes are beginner friendly and the instructors will guide your development as far as you care to go."

JT Swing Teams - Calgary
Andrew & Beverly Opyrchal of Shok Dance are the Directors of JT Swing Teams in Calgary.
We teach choreography from 11-time US Open Swing Dance Champions Jordan Frisbee & Tatiana Mollmann.
Every 6 months, JT Swing Teams create fresh and exciting choreography for two (2) West Coast Swing Dance dance levels, challenging dancers worldwide to develop their musicality, technique and performance skills.
Currently, Calgary is the ONLY Canadian JT Swing Teams.
Calgary joins dancers across the globe in UK, France, Norway, Korea, Australia, and USA
WE ARE CURRENTLY IN TRAINING FOR SEASON 11
Stay tuned for performances coming in Spring 2025!
"Our goal is to create a global family of dancers learning, improving, and most importantly having a great time."
​
"We have had success through routines and feel we have grown a lot through this process, and this is our way of passing it on. Most WCS dancers will never have a partner or compete in the Classic or Showcase division. We think this could give many dancers that opportunity to work at a common goal, and improve week after week.
​
Each JT Swing Team is run independently by qualified local directors who teach team members the choreographies. There are two seasons per year with two different levels - Novice/Intermediate and Intermediate/Advanced. Each location learns the same choreography, providing team members with maximized performance opportunities, as there will be team members who know the same choreography all over the world."
