workshops
The UK Championships is not just a competition! For years the event has been at the forefront of delivering unique levelled workshops from World Class Professional Instructors and this year will be no different.
We believe that everyone learns in different ways and therefore we will provide a number of varied workshops to cater for all learning styles.
We also intend to provide in-depth focus workshops on body movement and connection, expanding your dance vocabulary with innovative patterns, and gaining valuable insights into the history and musicality of the dance.
Workshop Level Guidance
Level 1 - Absolute Beginners
Level 2 - Newcomer/Novice
Level 3 - Novice (WSDC Novice points/level)
Level 4 - Intermediate (WSDC Intermediate points/level)
Level 5 - Advanced (WSDC Advanced points/level)
Level 6 - WSDC All Star points/level
Open Level - For anyone Level 2 and above. You just need to know your basics!
In general we use the WSDC points system to determine the level of class allocated to you. Whilst we believe that if you have great teachers then you will always learn, we also appreciate that some of you may not compete on a regular basis. We will therefore also run auditions for those who wish to petition up a level in workshops.
To ensure the best learning experience for everyone, you will be only able to attend your level workshops, but don't worry we'll have plenty of learning opportunities for you.
