FAQs
Do I need experience?
Yes.
For the all-levels workshops, we expect that you are able to reliably execute basic pushes, passes, and whips as taught in our WCS Basics classes.
For the Novice+ workshops, we're taking that a step further and asking that you have at least one point in Novice WSDC divisions in your preferred role.
WSDC NOVICE? CAN I PETITION UP?
Yes.
If you have never competed before or have not yet earned any points in the Novice division, please speak to WU staff for guidance before registering.
IS REGISTRATION REQUIRED?
Registration is required for both the Full Weekend Novice+ Pass and the Saturday All-Levels Pass. Evening-only passes may be purchased as drop in at the door.
Registration will be available online until June 21 at 11:59pm and in-studio on Tuesday and Saturday evenings until June 18.
Do I need a pass to attend the social dance?
No.
If you have bought any of the available workshop passes, entry to the social dance is included, but if you are not attending the workshops, you may pay at the door as usual.
What's the refund policy?
We know just about anything can happen, and a commitment to register ahead of time can be a little scary.
For that reason, if you have registered and need to cancel, we will issue refunds up to the date of the event.
Can I book a private lesson with Kyle?
Yes! But spots are very limited. Contact us directly to arrange.

The workshops, social dance, and all private lessons will be held at our usual studio location:
