Swingtacular 2026
WCS Workshops
Five levels for specified learning. Concept-based classes.
Our philosophy
Concept-Based. Always.
Less Patterns. More Concepts.
Unless being used to deliver a concept. Workshops focus on general understanding of concepts relevant to improving WCS, and specific tools and drills to apply those concepts to your body and movement.
Honor system leveling
There won't be anyone at the door checking wristbands. We go off the honor system. If you aren't confident you qualify and can be a good partner for those you rotate with, you can take the class without rotating — or audit from the side.
Teach you how to fish
The goal is to impact your dancing in a significant way immediately, and keep impacting it long after Swingtacular ends. These workshops are designed to change how you experience and understand WCS — not just add new moves.
Solo track included
Past solo classes have included Ballet, Hip-Hop, Contemporary, Mindful Movement, and Floor Flow. Every pass includes access to the full solo track in addition to partnered WCS workshops.
Workshop Levels
Find Your Level
We use WSDC points as a reference point for the level of material being taught. Points are not a perfect system, but they provide a helpful starting point for general correlation.
Workshop expectations
The Honor System.
No wristband checks
Everyone will have the same color wristbands. There will not be anyone at the door telling students that they aren't allowed in because they aren't at the appropriate level — because they won't be able to tell. We are going off of the honor system.
Options if you're unsure
If you aren't confident that you qualify for the class and can be a qualified partner for those you are rotating to and from, you always have the option to take the class with one partner and not rotate. You also always have the option to sit and simply audit the class and take notes.
Make the most of it
We have amazing instructors lined up for this weekend. Please take every opportunity that you can to soak up as much knowledge as you possibly can. This is meant to be a learning experience that keeps you occupied until at least Swingtacular next year.
