Workshop info

We offer multi-levelled workshops throughout the weekend. Each level gets 5 hours of workshop plus additional open level workshops. 

PLEASE NOTE: We do not allow participants to jump between leveled workshops, this means if you are level 3 you cannot attend level 2, 3+, 4 or 5 workshops. This is due to balance of the workshops, space limitations and most importantly respect of the levels. 

Please always consult your local dance teacher for which level they think you should apply to. Read the level descriptions carefully before choosing the appropriate group for you. The system will scan all registration to check WSDC levels.
If you want more workshops you can attend our SNOW EXTREME which gives you access to more workshops! Click on Extreme in the menu (under Event info) to read more.
