Secondary Role Bootcamp
Not confident in your secondary role? That's exactly why we created this bootcamp. In just 3 hours, you'll go from hesitant to ready — covering lead and follow technique and foundational patterns from a fresh perspective that will elevate your entire dance.
Walk in curious. Walk out confident. Whether you've never tried your secondary role or want to rebuild it from solid technique, this is your moment.
Prerequisites: At least 6 months of WCS experience and a strong foundation in 6- and 8-count basics in your primary role. This is not a beginner class — you need to know your primary role.
Connection Intensive with Raphaël & Hélène
In WCS, connection is everything. Join Raphaël & Hélène in a journey to discover the different mechanisms with which we can connect to our partner(s).
In this 3h-long intensive, you can expect a lot of WCS technique and different perspectives on connection. Be it for your primary role, your secondary role, for switching, or for stealing.
Prerequisites: A strong foundation in 6- and 8-count basics in your primary role and a curious mind.
Themed Workshops
We have decided to offer themed workshops to reflect the diverse nature of Switch and Steal. Our goal is to create an inclusive and engaging learning experience that accommodates different learning speeds and levels of experience. Whether you are new to these concepts or already have experience, our workshop themes will provide a variety of approaches to help you explore, refine, and enjoy your dancing.
We also provide you with an indication of level for both general WCS level and Switch/Steal level. Please read the descriptions to decide what best matches your dancing experience. We will not be controlling the level of participants but kindly ask you to truly assess your skills. This will ensure a better learning environment for the teachers and the other participants.
Check out our schedule to learn more about our themes this year.
Difficulty level
The difficulty level is split into two categories: your WCS secondary role and your Switch & Steal experience. Use the descriptions below to find the best fit.
