2025 Schedule
Workshops Level
How to choose your workshop level?
Level 1 – Deepen Your Foundations
This track is designed for dancers who want to strengthen their basics and grow with confidence.
You’ll revisit and deepen essential tools, polish your transitions, and expand your comfort zone.
The pace is accessible, with plenty of space to explore, practice, and solidify your switch journey.
Level 2 – Fast-Paced & Challenging
Level 2 is for experienced dancers whose switching is already fluid and who are ready to dive into more demanding material.
Workshops will be faster in rhythm and more complex in content, encouraging you to push your limits and step outside your comfort zone — while still keeping it fun
The goal: to challenge yourself, explore advanced ideas, and enjoy the ride in a fast-paced environment.
