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.

Role Switching Workshop
November 4, 2024 from 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm
Location: Society Clubhouse @ 967 College Street
Have you ever seen dancers switch roles mid-dance and thought “I wish I could do that”? Now is your chance!
In this workshop you will learn how to seamlessly switch between leading and following by “stealing” or “giving up” the leader’s role. You will learn how to exchange energy with your partner and communicate when you want to lead and when you want to follow.
You MUST be able to lead and follow the basic patterns in WCS (including a whip). This workshop will NOT teach you how to lead or how to follow.
