As teachers, their natural talent and extensive training combines with their loveable, comedic teaching style to offer students easier access and faster progress. They developed the Swing Literacy Development Method, which is an unparalleled Teacher Training Program revolutionizing Swing dance development, in order to train other teachers to share WCS as effectively as possible, to spread the WCS addiction!

We work with WCS teachers who strive to translate their passion for WCS into extraordinary results in students’ progress. We help them transform their WCS pedagogy so they can teach more powerful content with ease and help their students flourish and fall in love with WCS.
