The weekend will have the same two main focuses as always:
• Leveled, concept based workshops led by some of our favorite instructors in the world. NO PATTERNS ALLOWED (unless utilized to deliver a concept of course). “Give a man a fish, and feed him for a night. Teach a man to fish, and feed him for a lifetime.” The goal of these workshops is to teach you how to fish like crazy.
• An incredible social dancing experience. We will have FOUR nights of amazing social dancing with tunes mixed in from some of the best DJs on the WCS circuit and some tremendous live musicians. This is truly going to be the social dance experience of the year...
