WHAT IS "THE CLASSIC CLASSIC"?

June 10th: "THE CLASSIC CLASSIC" was a SOLD OUT success! Thank you to everyone who helped make this event such a great success — Blake and John, our terrific DJs, and all the wonderful dancers!  ~Paula Wilson

"THE CLASSIC CLASSIC" is a rigorous, intensive learning weekend dedicated to the more brilliant aspects of Classic WCS.  Participants MUST SIGN UP WITH A PARTNER. (We can help "matchmake" if needed.) You will stay with your partner for most Workshops so that the focus can be on practicing the class content rather than negotiating rotations and the feel of new partners every few minutes.
​The gender of the leader and follower in each partnership does not matter. Partners can also switch roles throughout the day, if they so choose. 

​LEVELS: In each workshop, there will be separate great material for Adv.Beginners, for Intermediates, and for Advanced/All Star dancers. (This is made possible thanks to partner-keeping!) And as much individual coaching as time allows.
