Bootcamp
Our Bootcamp workshops are great if you’re brand new and want to get up to speed quickly. We’ll help you build a solid foundation and make sure you’re nailing the basics. Trust us — taking the time to get these right now will make everything easier (and more fun) as you move up.
What we cover
4 Block Drill | 6 & 8 Count Pattern Timings | Closed & Open Positions | 3 Pattern Types, Push, Pass & Whip danced on a Slot.
Expansion
This workshop is all about taking the basics and applying them to the social dance floor. We’ll focus on how to connect with your partner and really dance to the music, so you can relax and enjoy every dance.
What we cover
How to count music | connection with your partner | Rhythm units and why they matter | Managing your slot
Focus
We always find ourselves saying, “We could spend a whole day on this!” — so here’s our chance. In these workshops, we take one topic and dive deep. Not quite a whole day, it’s a focused 2-hour session where we explore some of the really fun (and often overlooked) parts of West Coast Swing.
What we cover
Musicality | Advanced connection | Styling | Turn technique | Dancing to Blues | Competition insight
Intermediate
Seen something on social media and wondered, “How do they do that?” Curious about the finer details of the dance and how it’s evolving? If so, this workshop’s for you. Taught by Lee and Fab, we go beyond what you’d normally cover in class and dive into the latest patterns and trends happening right now in the West Coast Swing world.
What we cover
Creative and contemporary patterns | Advanced techniques | Solo Styling for each role
To help create the best learning environment for everyone, we ask that you chat with a member of the crew before signing up for an intermediate workshop. You can do this at your local venue or by sending us a message.
Spotlight
If you’ve been around the West Coast Swing world for a bit, you’ve probably noticed we love a good competition. And while your comp results don’t define you (you’re so much more than a score), we know that some of you want to grow and rise through the WCS levels.
That’s where our Spotlight Workshops come in. Lee and Fab both have a wealth of competition and judging experience so they know exactly how comps work, what judges are looking for, and how to help you bring your best to the floor.
These workshops give you the tools to succeed and the chance to practice with other like-minded dancers who share your goals.
To help create the best learning environment for everyone, we ask that you chat with a member of the crew before signing up for a spotlight workshop. These workshops move at a quick pace, and we want to make sure you feel confident, not overwhelmed. You can do this at your local venue or by sending us a message.
Combine your workshop with a party
Every time we run a workshop, there’s a party in the evening too! If you’re joining us for the workshop, you’ll get 50% off the party, just add both to your basket and the discount will apply automatically. It’s our way of saying, stick around and have some fun!
