A circuit, devoted to the Novice and Intermediate Level dancers promoting the art of West Coast Swing Dancing and it many regional styles. AANCE currently consists of 26 events worldwide. Each participating event offers their support to all Novice and Intermediate level dancers, by offering a gateway, an arena, into the world of competition dancing.
