Dance conventions are a weekend full of workshops and social dances. Most events also include opportunities to compete. They are a great way to expand your learning and interact with the larger WCS community.
Nervous about competing? We’ll help you get started! If you’re a current MWCSC member and you’ve never competed in West Coast Swing before, the club will reimburse your entrance fee for a Jack and Jill contest!
