WC Swing: Workshop Series
**Why Join the Full Series?**
West Coast Swing is more than just mastering steps-it's about understanding the dance from every angle.
This three-part workshop series is designed to deepen your connection, creativity, and communication on the dance floor by exploring the dance through all roles.
• Part One: What Leaders Want
A follower-focused session to help you tune into the leader's world-what they need, how they think, and how you can become more responsive and in sync.
• Part Two: What Followers Want
A leader-focused session that opens the door to the follower's perspective-what helps them feel free, supported, and inspired in the partnership.
• Part Three: Switch Workshop with Sophie and Jes Ann
A dynamic look at switching roles within the dance. More than just a trend, this is a skill that reflects the essence of West Coast Swing: playful, adaptive, and ever-evolving.
By taking all three, you won't just improve your technique-you'll become a more intuitive, versatile, and connected dancer.
Whether you usually lead, follow, or want to explore both, this series will expand your perspective and give you tools to elevate your social dancing in meaningful ways.
