West Slope Westies began in 2017 with a group of friends who shared a passion for West Coast Swing. As the community grew and developed, it was quickly realized this was something amazing and needed to be preserved for future generations of Durango dancers. This goal became a reality in 2022 when the West Slope Westies established non-profit status.
Through countless volunteer hours, the club provides affordable dance education and a safe space for community expression. Local instructors are unpaid volunteers who champion dancing for personal expression and overall wellbeing. In addition to spearheading multiple all-dance style community social dances throughout the year.
