Workshops

Focus Workshops (Wed-Thu)

We conduct themed focus workshops on Wednesday and Thursday, which are tailored to different skill levels. We take individual preferences and needs into consideration to some extent. If, for instance, you find yourself placed in a higher level but wish to stay with a dance partner or loved one who is in a lower level, you have the flexibility to make that choice. Conversely, moving up to a higher level always requires approval from the teaching staff.

Please be aware that the focus workshops have three distinct skill levels, but during registration, you can only choose between two levels: Novice and Intermediate+. On Wednesday morning, we will hold an Audition where participants will be divided into three groups – three skill levels! It’s essential to attend the Audition to ensure you are placed in the appropriate group.

Weekend Workshops (Fri-Sun)

We offer regular workshops on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. All the workshops have skill levels. Sometimes we have multiple groups of the same level to be able to have smaller sized groups. Same level classes get the same material from the same teachers.
WSDC rank offers automatic acceptance to certain levels, but most of the levels can be reached through our Audition system. We consider individual needs and preferences to some extent during the placement process. If you find yourself placed in a higher level but prefer to stay with your dance partner or loved one in a lower level, you have the flexibility to do so. However, moving up to a higher level always requires approval from our teaching staff.
