The classes will teach you everything from musicality, styling, technique to fun patterns and by having different levels of workshops everyone will be able to enjoy classes in the level they are at. At the end of the class it is normal that the teachers do a quick recap of the class so you can take a video and practice it at home later. So be ready to grab your camera at the end to record what you learned.
SNOW is a WSDC registry event.
There will be west coast swing competitions in two different formats: Jack&Jill and Strictly. Jack&Jill is common form of competing in west coast swing. This format has a lot of rules and ways to go about it. You can read about the differens divisions under “Competitions” in the main menu. Strictly means you register for the competition as a couple and will be judged as a couple througout the competition.
