Connection er en af de vigtigste faktorer i WCS. Johan vil gå i detaljer omkring god connection. Kbh team vil deltage i undervisningen og hjælpe med at give personlig feedback. Det er vigtigt at vi ‘mærker’ en god connection, så det kræver lidt individuel opmærksomhed. Derudover vil vi også gennemgå hvordan man ruller gennem fødderne, som får dansen til at se så flydende ud.

🔹 Søndag bootcamps med Johan

🔹 Bootcamp 11.30-13.30 (level 2) Rock and go
Endnu et meget vigtigt grundtrin i WCS, som bruges meget når vi sammensætter variationer af trin, det åbner en helt ny verden for muligheder og Johan vil vise os nogle lækre varianter.

🔹 Bootcamp 14.30-16.30 (level 1 and 2)
Different variations on starting the dance
I denne her workshop vil vi gå nærmere ind i hvad man kan danse i open embrace og forskellige variationer af starter steps. Johan og Tina vil også give os nogle andre lækre moves, som I kan glæde jer til.

Vi underviser umiddelbart på engelsk! Men kan også gentage på dansk, hvis behovet er der. Individual feedback kan være på begge sprog!

Saturday Bootcamps

🔹 Bootcamp (Level 1) for beginners: We will go through left and right side pass as as sugar push (We expect that most of you have tried it in one of our intros during the summer!) so we would like to spend more time on the last two basic steps: the Sugar tuck and the whip. We will also give technical tools to make the steps work in a nice a smooth way.

🔹 Bootcamp (level 1 and 2): Learn how to connect. The connection is one of the most important things in WCS, in this Bootcamp Johan will go into details of the connection. Alex, Marcus and Connie will also be there to help, so that everybody will get in direct contact with a teacher. Connection needs to be felt in the body. We will also work with the technique behind roling on the feet.

🔹 Sunday Bootcamps

🔹 Bootcamp (Level 2) Rock and Go
Another important basic step is the Rock and Go, that is often used when making more interesting variations of the normal basic steps. It will open a new world of possibilities in your dance and Johan will teach us some cool variations.

🔹 Bootcamp (level 1 and 2) Different variations on starting the dance
In this workshop we will dive deeper into how to start the dance in open embrace and how to start the dance with different variations.
You gonna love to spice up your dance with these moves. Johan and Tina will also teach us some other really nice moves, that we can look forward to.
