How leveling works

  • Registration collects your WSDC ID, and we check your level in the WSDC points registry.
  • Your wristband color gets you into your restricted track.
  • Dancers with no WSDC points place themselves; instructors can move you up or down.
  • New to West Coast Swing? Start with the Fundamentals track: Friday 2 pm, Saturday 11 am and Sunday 10 am.
