7:15 – 8:30 Practice space offered by WCSwing Calgary

/ WCSCalgary

Last season we hosted a WCS group class before the weekly dance and it was a great success. I want to thank all the teachers that took the time to come out and share their knowledge. YOU ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED

This season WCSwing Calgary is trying to fill another need in the community. Do YOU have a space to practice? We take lessons, watch DVDs and videos but to get the information to ‘stick’ we need to review it. We are offering you a cheap space to use for practice. It doesn’t have to be WCS….it can be any dance, drills, partnered dancing, etc. We will share the music. Once we have secured the space we can also get creative and see what other opportunities present themselves.

2015-16 Season’s Pass for Floor Time Fridays 7:15 – 8:30 : (Sept to mid June)
The cost will be based on the number of people that sign up. i.e. if 20 people sign up it will cost $60/person for the season which is $2 per evening. The more who join us, the lower the cost for everyone! The typical rental rate at a studio in town is between $9 – $15 per practice. Most of us need a commitment to motivate us off the couch…….
This offer closes at the end of Sept.

Come out Sept 11 for a FREE Floor Time.

Regular dance starts at 8:30 for $7. Flash Mob at 10:00
More info: Message/email Dave Lawson or Laurie Shafer on the WCSwing Calgary Facebook Group
