To Prepare You for Switch and Steal Workshops
Switching roles in dance can be challenging if you are not confident dancing both roles. Don't fret, we've got you covered! Take one of our 2-hour Secondary Role Bootcamps. They will be scheduled at the at the start of many of our events.
Our instructor will review lead and follow techniques and basic patterns from the opposite perspective, boosting your confidence to explore some initial switching and stealing skills.
Some introduction to basic switch and steal concepts will be included at the level the instructor sees will fit the people in the room.
To enroll, you must have a strong foundation in 6- and 8-Count basics in your primary role.
This Bootcamp is designed both for people who have never danced in their secondary role and for those who want to dive more into technique while revisiting their basics.
This Bootcamp is not suitable for complete beginners; you should already have at least six months of WCS experience in your primary role.
