Just Dance WCS Novice

A just-for-fun and no-stakes/no-prizes division for beginner and novice dancers (see rules) to practice competing in West Coast Swing. Dancers sign up either as a couple or solo, and we’ll pair the solo dancers together based on preferred roles. This is not a random partner division. Each couple will dance to two (2) minutes of two (2) songs (selected prior to the event and announced at the opening of registration).

Style: West Coast Swing | Level: Novice
