Workshops
- GOLD – for our newer Westies and soon to be social kings and queens. You will need some WCS basics (Sugar Push, Left Side Pass and Underarmturn) and some beginner knowledge of slot and connection.
- SILBER – for our more advanced Westies. You should dance this dance for approximately two years already. You will need more complex version of the basics (for example: Open Whips, Rock and Go´s, combinations).
- BRONZE – This level focuses on competition related content. Aiming at more advanced techniques and details you will need 16 WSDC Novice points at least to participate.
- ADVANCED/ALL-STAR – This level contains two two hour intensive workshops (one on Saturday, one on Sunday.) It is necessary to be WSDC Advanced level or higher, minimum of 30 WSDC Intermediate points.
- BABY BIRD – Our Baby Birds are soon to be Westies. In a six-hour course they will learn the fundamentals of West Coast Swing. With those they will be able to dive into all our parties right away.
Audition
To build the perfect environment for everyone to excel in learning we find an audition workshop to be the best option possible. This is an All-Level Workshop for each participant. The content will be decided by our teachers based on what is relevant in their upcoming workshops. While our dancers will learn from one of our couples the other teacher will distribute wristbands. Like this even a participation in bronze is possible for dancers who have never before taken any competition.
Competition
Our trophies are wonderful pieces of art made by Barbara Oliva-Lanza from Montpellier, France. They are designed and crafted by hand for us specifically. On top of that we have some free passes for other events that are working with us. For example, we had people winning passes for „WSDC Winter White West Coast Swing”, “WSDC Westie Spring Thing” and “Symphony Swing”.

DJs
We are proud of our versatile DJ team. With our head DJ, Ken Knipphals, Germany, we provide the best mix of music possible with DJs from all over the world. As every DJ has its own specialty the music is going to be versatile, leaving no one not moving. So: Everyone will find their favourite set!
As we want to support younger DJs as well, we try to make their appearance on the dance floor possible. If you are a newer DJ, just send word.
As our DJs will play music on two dance floors simultaneously the participants can choose whichever set they like best or just keep on switching the dance floor because all music is moving their bodies.
Such as our teachers you can read all on our DJ line up on our website for the upcoming edition.
Organisation
Our event director is our ADTV West Coast Swing specialized dance teacher, official WSDC judge and WSDC Intermediate dancer, Fabian Stein. He, supported by our Tanzhaus Bonn team and an amazing group of volunteers, oversees basically everything event related. Without the enormous help of so many amazing people the organisation of such an event would simply be impossible.
If you have any questions just reach out to fabian.stein [at] tanzhaus-bonn.de or give us a call at Tanzhaus Bonn.
We are happy to help you out!
