Speaking of the Best . . .
We will do our best to bring top flight Australian WCS talent to Canberra and our next set of workshops will coincide with the Winter Solstice Wine Tour and Dinner Dance. More on that below - but first, let me tell you about our
Workshop and Afternoon Tea Dance this Sunday 25 March 2012:
If you have just finished the 8 week Intro to WCS course, what should you do next? Firstly – we offer you the opportunity to move up to the Continuing level class. You can purchase a 6 class pass (with 10 week expiry date) at the discount rate of $70 (normally $90) but it does come with a condition. Firstly, you must work through (attend) the 7:15 Introductory material again to really consolidate what you have learnt over the last 8 weeks. This is important because WCS Foundation techniques require consolidation to give your partner (Lead or Follow) the most enjoyable dance experience. Secondly, you need to attend the Continuing Level Workshop this Sunday, or dance with Karolina or Mark at class to assess your technique in the essentials (see dot points below) before you move up.
Those of you who have just finished the 8 week intro to WCS course should do your
best to attend the Continuing Level
Workshop this coming Sunday.
This coming Sunday 2pm – 4pm is the workshop that will
prepare you for moving up to the Continuing level class. It runs from 2pm to 4pm and is priced at
$40. We will cover:
·
