Entry Deadlines

Think camp songs, laughter, goofy games—and yes, real West Coast Swing sliding in all the fun! This final hour is our chance to dance, laugh, let loose, and say “see you next year!” with full hearts.

WCS Freeze: Dance in a circle until music stops—then freeze! Only leaders (or followers) rotate while the other stays frozen—creating silly, fun positions and unexpected transitions (don't worry—safety first!).

Red-Light-Green-Light WCS: Follow the emcee’s cues—red for stop, yellow for slow-mo, green to groove! Watch the dance floor move as one living wave.

Balloon-Man Boogie: Teams of four “fan” life-size balloon characters made of strings. Move the “arms” or “legs,” dance only during chorus breaks, or even TWERK the balloon man (challenge accepted!).

Friend Scavenger Bingo: Find out-of-state dancers, newbies, masters-level movers, and more. Get someone to sign your bingo card as you meet new people—first to bingo wins a free shirt!

Activities might include

Play goofy, camp-style dance games that get your musicality and movement off the charts.

Meet new friends, flex your team skills, and share belly-laughs—because let’s face it, exploring a crowd of 850+ people in four days is a tall order!

Learn on the go—through laughter and movement, discover new WCS musicality, partner play, and spontaneous transitions.

Feel the energy as you

Ready to wrap up your weekend with total fun, creativity, and connection? Join us for Swing Camp: Play & Flow! a one-hour summer-camp-for-adults style session where West Coast Swing meets laughter and friendship.

WCS Interactive Fun Hour!
