Level 1 Classes : BEGINNERS
Never danced West Coast Swing before?
In a relaxed atmosphere, this fundamental course teaches the principles that are unique to WCS (footwork, connection & elasticity, rhythm) and the main basic patterns. Through a scaffolded programme and amusing drills, you will learn to dance while having fun.
Our weekly classes for beginners start on Thursday September 19th, 2024 – 7 to 8 pm ROOM Maalbeek
Level 2 Classes : IMPROVERS
The “improvers” level focusses on intermediate techniques like Rock’nGo, Delayed One, pattern extensions, pivots and turns. It will introduce basic elements of improvisation, groove and musicality. Knowledge of the fundamentals of WCS is required.
Our cycle for improvers starts on Monday September 16th, 2024 – 7 to 8 pm ROOM A TOUT
Level 3 Classes : EXPERIENCED
The “experienced” level is aimed at expert dancers who want to refine their technique, their quality of movement and their listening skills.
It will contain elements of musicality (straight vs swung rhythm, how to dance differently to different genres, blues), body isolation, rolling count, cut time, one-foot spins and more – in short, all the keys for the dancer to develop their own style and interpretation.
Our cycle for experienced starts on Monday September 16th, 2024 – 8 to 9 pm ROOM A TOUT
Level 4 Classes : FANATICS / COMPETITORS
This level can be attended on invitation or audition and is reserved to competitors (points in WSDC Novice required) and teachers. Classes focus on musical theory and advanced WCS techniques, competition aspects and video analysis to develop a critical eye.
