Last Friday we beat the heat with the air-conditioning cranked, and ICE CREAM treats! How spoiled are we?! This Friday is going to be a hot one too, not to mention the smoke. So let’s get in out of that air and do our Westie thing with awesome lessons, more yummies, and a night of dancing! Hope to see you all there!

W3/Mario Recap with Dave & Laurie

We would like to thank everyone who participated in the W3 Program and everyone who also joined us for the awesome W3/Mario Workshop Weekend that just passed!

One thing we’ve learned over the years is that awesome instruction is useless without implementation…

This W3/Mario Recap session is designed for you!

We will be reviewing Mario’s content together, integrating it into what we worked on in W3 and help you with adding it into your WCS skill set during the practice.

Format will be the same as for all of our other W3 Sunday’s.

Noon to 4pm – 3 hours of Westie Workshops, with Dave and Laurie reviewing everything Mario covered, and practice breaks between

AND

4 to 6pm – 2 hour Guided Practice for implementation after.

As always we’ll have a mid-afternoon snack break to keep us firing on all cylinders…

Once we’re done, if you like, we’ll also do a ‘field trip’ to Blues Can for a bite and a beverage, to put it all into action to a bit of live blues!

$45/person – no partner required
(Includes Guided Practice 4-6pm)

$10 Drop-in Guided Practice only

We have had some amazing opportunities to dance West Coast Swing this summer and there are plenty more to come! Start off the weekend this Friday with our weekly Lessons and Dance Party – AND on Sunday:  “W3/Mario Recap with Dave & Laurie” from noon to 4 pm (follow link for more info and to register), and D & L’s  2 hour “Guided Practice”  from 4-6 pm (included with the W3/Mario Recap, and open to others for $10). See you there!

We’re all heading down to Calgary International Blues Festival this Sunday! Come hang out with Westie friends for the afternoon/evening for some great Blues and – what else? – a bit of Westie fun of course! Buy your pass AT THE GATE at Millenium Park when you arrive, and then find us all at the front left corner of the grass (relative to the stage) any time after noon. Be sure to bring a short-legged (aka “Festival”) chair or blanket. Dance on the grass or just hang out for the afternoon/evening. Then we’ll all head over to the Kerby Centre (INCLUDED IN YOUR PASS!), where dance shoes work and the bands keep playing ‘till 2:00 am, if you dare! 🙂
