Levels

At WOTP you register on 6 levels and with the auditions, we will divide the dancers into 9 groups of equivalent skills.

- Wednesday morning for the 3 Last days PASS.
Party passes (Week, 3FD and 3LD) do not need to participate in auditions.

Even though the WOTP is a social stage, for the auditions we have added a correspondence with the WSDC competition levels if you do. If you think you have a better level than your current WSDC level you can contact us.

NIVEAU 1

Complete beginner - If you are a complete beginner or have only taken a few classes.

NIVEAU 2

WSDC : Newcomer / Novice - You know the basics of West Coast Swing, but you still don't feel completely comfortable when dancing socially. In addition to improving your basics, you want to acquire the fundamentals and be able to dance with any partner.

NIVEAU 3

WSDC : Novice - Your basics are no longer a problem for you, you know the fundamentals of West Coast Swing, a few variations of steps, as well as several variations of figures. You are comfortable dancing socially regardless of the partner. Despite everything, you are still hesitant to dance to fast tempos, and sometimes experience some connection problems. You also want to improve your style.

NIVEAU 4

WSDC : Novice / Intermediate - Fast tempos no longer scare you. You can social dance with partners of different levels (beginner to advanced) without any problem. You are looking for your own style, as well as discovering musicality, dancing not only to the rhythm of the music, but to all its accents. You want to learn new variations, as well as new techniques.

NIVEAU 5

WSDC : Intermediate / Advance - West Coast Swing is your dance. You know how to dance to slow, medium or fast rhythms with the same ease. You use your footwork to play along to the music, and even start creating your own tricks. You are now looking to improve your style and refine your musicality.

NIVEAU 6

WSDC : Advance / All Star / Champion - West Coast Swing is your dance. You've developed your own style, and integrated your own footwork and tricks. You want to know or have an idea of the styles of the teachers, so as to further improve your own style, as well as to have new sources of inspiration.
