Inga Kurciša

Movement Dialogue/West Coast Swing

Inga and Browly (BEING) are both trained in several dance styles and began dancing West Coast Swing separately. They rose up through the competitive ranks quickly, but gained even more notice when they began teaching West Coast Swing as a pair five years ago. Rather than focusing solely on WCS, they chose to devote their partnership to teaching and developing intelligent, connected, musical partner dancers - regardless of style. 

Their challenging, fun, often mind-blowing classes are applicable to all partner dance forms and their commitment to helping dancers find their own voice has made them popular around the world. If you dance a partner dance - of any kind - their classes are for you. If you are a dancer who focuses on solo movement, their classes are an excellent deep dive into moving with another body in space.

Inga Kurciša is a passionate dancer from Latvia with an atypical dance background.

She began dancing at the age of 6, with “show” dance. She then broadened her horizons with ballet and hip hop. But after the birth of her 1st child, she started again, this time with line dance, and it was then that she crossed paths with west coast swing, with which she fell in love.

After teaching this dance for several years in Riga, she realized that she had been running away from something that had seemed so obvious: “she wanted to throw herself body and soul into dancing, and wanted dance to be an integral part of her life”. So she decided to go back to university to study dance and dance teaching. Her chosen disciplines included hip hop, ballet, jazz, contemporary and Latvian folk dance.

What intrigues and fascinates her about West Coast Swing? It's that it's a dance that fosters creativity and is constantly evolving. She loves the great freedom it offers in the choice of possible movements to express herself. She's also convinced that you can learn something new every day, and that WCS allows you to really grow as a dancer.

“Dancing is breathing for me. It's a necessity and not just a hobby. For me, it's a way of expressing emotions, whether joy or sadness”. Inga is a human dancer, generous, respectful and close to people. She's an attentive teacher whose pedagogy will take you on a gentle journey and help you grow.
