What people say
Garda Winter Swing 2025
“Compliments on the event organization: I truly felt ‘pampered’ at every moment. A rare attention to detail that made the experience special. As a dancer for just a few years and practicing WCS for less than one, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and level of the event, which definitely deserves much more visibility.”

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What level do I need to participate?
Each event has specific levels indicated in the description (Beginner, Novice, Intermediate, Open Level). We generally recommend at least 6 months of WCS practice for workshops and at least 1 year for retreats. If you have questions, contact us on WhatsApp!
Can I participate alone or do I need a partner?
It is possible to register for our Workshops individually, as pairings are random and rotate throughout the class. We always do our best to ensure a balanced number of followers and leaders, in order to provide the best possible experience for all participants.
However, we recommend registering with a partner (who will not necessarily be your dance partner) to guarantee confirmation of your registration. In the case of individual registration, a waiting list may apply if it is not possible to maintain a balance between roles.
How does booking work?
Contact us via WhatsApp or fill out the form on the website. We’ll send you all the information and payment details. Remember: spots are limited and events often sell out quickly!
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancellation conditions vary for each event. Generally, we offer a full refund up to 30 days before the event, and a 50% refund up to 14 days before. You’ll find specific details on each event page.
