Schedule:

1:15-1:30 pm: Check in/Warm up.

1:30-2:30 pm: Workshop #1: The Judges Eye

Whether you’re a seasoned competitor in search of tips to shine in front of the judges, or someone who is interested in entering your very first competition—this class is for you! What do judges want to see? How can you stand out? How is competitive dancing different than social dancing? John will share his perspective from decades of experience competing, judging, and coaching.

2:30-2:45 pm: Break. Check in/Warm up.

2:45-3:45 pm: Workshop #2: Hot New Moves

Spice up the dance floor with John’s favorite hot new pattern!

3:45-4:00 pm: Break. Check in/Warm up.

4:00-5:00 pm: Workshop #3: Anchors Away!

The anchor gives west coast swing its famous smooth, elastic, groovy look and feel. John will help us all master this important step, and then teach us some fun variations to really elevate our dancing.

5:00-7:00 pm: Dinner break.  Please note the church will be closed during this time.

Participation in these workshops requires a solid working knowledge and the skills to dance all basic patterns (starter step, side passes, pushes, whip) with good timing, on your own and with a partner.
