Dedicated to providing West Coast Swing community leadership education. ​

2026 is focused on the Teaching and Judging roles in the community.

These workshops are open to dancers of ALL levels.

Tracks

Everyone is welcome to take either of the tracks. You can also jump to different classes per session if you'd like. Those who complete all 6 sessions in a single track are eligible for specific track completion opportunities.

Judge Track

If you've ever wanted to learn how to judge, or just know what the judges are thinking, this is a great opportunity. Great for curious competitors or soon-to-be professionals. All levels welcome, no prior teaching experience required.

Teacher Track

Whether you are a newer dancer or a seasoned instructor, there is always something to learn about teaching others. Join our experienced instructors for in-depth classes on classroom management, structure, and private lesson guidance.

Syllabus

Each track has its own syllabus. See below for each session and description.
