Welcome! Smoothstyle is the private dance studio of Maria Ford. I offer private instruction and specialty workshops in West Coast Swing (WCS).

My current focus is developing dancers who have a foundation in WCS and developing other teachers.

For beginner WCS lessons and weekly syllabus classes in Ottawa, please check out: Rideau Swing Collective (spearheaded by several of Smoothstyle’s former team members), and Westie Underground.
