WCS Technique
The first class from 7:00-7:45pm will focus on technique for the common basic patterns and socially leadable/followable variations.  This beginner-friendly class will start with connection and partnering exercises, then move into common patterns, followed by some fun figures.  Make sure to bring dance shoes (or soft soled shoes) and a water bottle.  $130 for the whole 7 week session or $20 drop-in per week.  Minimum 5 students pre-registered in order for the class to run, see below*.

WCS Flash Mob Choreographed
The second class from 7:45-8:30pm will be a putting together a choregraphed WCS flash mob routine and will conclude with a performance (date to be scheduled with everyone together) either at a mall or somewhere outdoors (hiking or at a park/beach).  Please note that there will be a nominal additional cost for a "team tee shirt" for the performance.  $130 for the whole 7 week session, no drop-in option for this class since we will be building on each week. It's highly recommended to take the 7pm technique and common patterns class, though not required in order to join this class, however there is a significant discount offered if you sign up for both classes to encourage you to learn the technique to help you with the choreography class.


*There is a 5 student minimum in order for these classes to run, so no registration fees will be collected until we reach that number of pre-registrants.  Please sign-up here and you will be contacted by May 1st with registration payment info.
