What is a Dance Party?
Everyone is encouraged to dance with each other so no need to bring a partner.
Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or just starting out, dance parties are a fantastic opportunity to practice your moves and make connections (whether meeting new friends or reconnecting with familiar faces) in a relaxed and friendly environment.
Class Descriptions
Beginner Class
The target audience for this class is new dancers who are not yet familiar with the basic patterns and concepts of WCS.
This class is meant for you if:
- You are familiar with (and able to consistently execute) basic WCS patterns such as pushes, passes, whips, double turns, extensions, etc.
- You are brand new to WCS
- You are familiar with the basic WCS patterns and want to learn the other role (leading/following)
- You have some experience with WCS and want to revisit fundamental concepts
Intermediate Class
The target audience for this class is experienced WCS dancers who are ready to go beyond the basics and start to explore advanced patterns and concepts. This will not be your usual “intermediate” class. Expect to be challenged and introduced to concepts that you may not master your first time around.
This class is meant for you if:
- You are a seasoned WCS dancer who has been dancing and learning for many years
- You are familiar with (and able to consistently execute) basic WCS patterns such as pushes, passes, whips, double turns, extensions, etc.
