WCS Reboot Workshop
Feb 20 &/or 27 6-9pm
Kickstart your return to
West Coast Swing with Myles & Tessa
at the new Dance Vancouver studio
Welcome back!
Hey there. Long time no dance. How are you?
Craving dancing? Craving the social community?
But maybe feeling rusty? Like you need to remember how to social dance? Heck, even remember how to "social"?
Yeah, we get it.
Good news: it's a little like riding a bike: it won't take long to remember the skills you learned before.
Better news: this is the perfect opportunity to hit the "reboot" button and start fresh.
Embrace this opportunity to return your dance to its "factory settings" -
strip it down to raw fundamentals and rebuild your dance.
But this time you are a little older and wiser.
You have a better idea of what you really want.
And now you have access to coaches who specialize in helping you get it. All of it.
regular classes starting in March, but for now...
Here's where you start:
WCS Reboot Workshop
in-person with Myles & Tessa
Homegrown WCS Champions & Master Teachers
Sunday Feb 20 &/OR 27
6-9pm at Dance Vancouver
Just what the doctor ordered...
Don't worry - EVERYONE is feeling a little rough around the edges.
So this holistic workshop is designed to help you
gently re-integrate into dancing with partners of any level:
Refresh
your memory
Remember how to actually do the dance! We'll review basic and standard patterns systematically so you can build a logical structure to help you remember & use new patterns more easily
Get the
feeling back
We'll review essential connection skills and focus on compensation skills to use when partners might have missing skills, so you can make any dance more safe, effective, and fun.
Start
effective habits
We'll establish some easy habits that help you practice smarter and enjoy it more, such as warmup, partner profiling, and feedback exchange, plus some pro-social habits.
This workshop is for ALL levels (except beginners), so everyone can get on the same page
for SwingSoul Sundays and reboot together!

You're in good hands
After 2 years of teaching exclusively online, we are so excited to finally be offering in-person classes and privates at the new Dance Vancouver studio.
This Reboot workshop is the perfect "pre-season bootcamp" to get everyone started on the right foot, so when SwingSoul classes start in March, you'll be primed and ready.

What to expect in the workshop
- We will be gently easing you back into everything - physical, mental, and social, and help you manage your expectations of yourself and others
- Personal movement drills that are most essential for building back a solid foundation and protect your body to avoid injuring dance muscles that have been "out of shape".
- We'll coach you through partnering drills to help you start fresh with better connection than you had before the shutdown, and set up practice routines you can do outside of class.
- Since everyone is going to be a little rusty and deserve some grace, we'll focus on tactical tips and exercises to practice compensating for partners when they are missing skills, so you can feel better dancing with anyone.
Space is limited: Register now
PLEASE READ
Location: The new Dance Vancouver studio: 1627 W. Broadway at Fir
Dance Vancouver is currently a vaccinated-only space. Vaccine passports will be checked on arrival. Masks required when partnering.
The content of each workshop will have some overlapping core drills, but then have a totally different set of secondary drills and will vary slightly to accommodate the needs of those in the room and the questions asked.
So it's worth it to attend both if you can! More repetition and practice is always a good thing.
