Workshop Levels
Workshop levels are based on skill (and competition) levels as they do everywhere, but…
We know competitions ain’t everything 😉 , so if you don’t like competing, but want to participate in a class that represents your skill level, we have 2 more options for you:
– auditions
– have your local teachers contact us and vouch for your level
Below you can find the workshop levels we provide:
Welcoming Westies (Level 1)
It’s your first time trying WCS. You are eager to find out what it’s all about, and why people love it so much.
Previous dance experience is not mandatory (but won’t hurt, if you have some)
And when you fall in love with WCS, after initial classes and Friday party, you will have the opportunity to upgrade your pass on the spot 😉
Alternatively, if you are already familiar with WCS and you have a full pass for the event, we give you the opportunity to join for a discounted price in order to refresh your basics, help our new dancers, or try your secondary role 🙂
Entry requirements:
– none
Level 2
