Hello WCS & WCS-ish friends, and welcome to SV-2!
Thank you for playing with us at our first event (SV-1), it left us inspired and wanting more. The primary feedback we heard? More opportunities for crossover!
So, we invite you to experiment with us again as we step up our game and introduce a few changes:
- *Three rooms* of classes and music
- Bringing back our Zouk friends (Swouk!)
- A *third* dance: Tango (Swango!)
- Dance ambassadors for *each dance*
- Numerous smaller changes as we find more ways to encourage crossflow (we have some ideas brewing)
If you attended our first event, we completely overwhelmed our classes, PLEASE RSVP 🙏 - this helps us plan and bring you the best experience.
Have a different dance in your tool belt? We encourage fusing your Argentine Tango, Brazilian Zouk, Lindy Hop, Blues, and other dance influences.
Only familiar with WCS? Take the class~ Connect with your partner~ Listen to the music~
In the last hour, we will merge all dance rooms and encourage fusing of all styles.
This is *still* an experiment! Bring your curiosity and openness to step outside the slot.
