Workshop Reservations

These workshops require paid reservations, the purchase of an EZ pass or session pass, and in some cases qualification by WSDC level. You can look up your level HERE.

Develop control, adaptability, and musical clarity across different tempos. You’ll learn how to adjust your movement, weight transfers, and connection so your dancing stays grounded, fluid, and intentional on both slow and fast music. You’ll leave with practical tools that translate immediately to social dancing and competition.

Musically embellish every two counts of any basic pattern. For all levels!

Open to anyone who teaches or has an interest in teaching west coast swing.
