workshops

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, 4 or 5 workshops. This is due to balance of the workshops, space limitations and most importantly respect of the levels.

Please read the level descriptions carefully before choosing the appropriate group for you. We 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.

Audition

The audition is for those who would like to attend classes of higher levels, but do not have the required WSDC points to qualify. If you would like to audition to a higher level of classes you will have to go to the audition, check the schedule to see when and where, and dance your way to the desired level. You will get a few songs and you will rotate partners to get a chance to show your skills. The pro’s will decide who gets to move up.

Level 2 (Newcomer)

You are new to West Coast Swing and have the knowledge of the Basics Patterns, Timing and Frame. At this level you will be working on Fun Patterns, WCS Fundementals,  Technique and Cool Moves.

Level 3 (Novice)

You feel confident with West Coast Swing fundamentals: Basic Patterns, Timing, Technique and Teamwork.  You can social dance with partners from different levels without any problem. You want to learn more Advanced Patterns, Musicality, Styling and Technique.

This level is open for those in WSDC Intermediate (16 novice points or more). You can also audition for this level if you do not have the required WSDC points.
