Pricing $$ON SITE REGISTRATION AVAILABLE ONLY

** WCS BASICS Series >> 4- week monthly series $60.00 For first time newbies to WCS, we only offer a 4 class series purchase. If you aren't sure if you want to learn this wonderful dance yet, then you may attend the 1st class of a series as a "Drop In"($15). But, if you choose to continue with the Beginner series, then you must purchase the remaining 3 classes of the series ($45). (note: if you miss any classes in a purchased series, you will be given a credit towards another class at a later time.)

Since most people tend to take the Basics class more than once, to pick up detailed info they didn't absorb the first time around, we do suggest that brand new Beginner dancers wait until they have gone through the Basics series at least one time before jumping into the Novice class that follows the Basics class at 820pm. You're welcomed to try it but, you might find it difficult since, most people tend to hit their saturation learning point early when starting a new dance. 4- week monthly series $60.00 // 5th Wednesday will be used as a make up date or as a Specialty WCS workshop day.

NOTE: redeemable credits only - no cash refunds.
Prices do not include any advertised specials

** DROP-IN $15 >>> ALL OTHER CLASSES ( Alternative Dance Class, WCS Basics repeated, Novice WCS and Intermediate/Adv WCS )- $15.00 (includes up to 2 classes and dance.)

NOTE: All classes taught as a 4 week progressive series starting on the 1st Wednesday of every month.
