Program
Spend an inspiring, challenging, and joyous week with others who share a passion for swing. The B.C. Swing Workshop provides a friendly, non-competitive environment for every one from swing-novices to more seasoned players. Our program provides an extensive selection of seminars, workshops, and organized band labs to help you grow as a musician. Our enthusiastic and experienced instructors are chosen for their skill as leaders, as well as their abilities as performers.
Workshop
check-in is the afternoon of Sunday, August 10th. When you
arrive, we'll help you find your accommodation. Plan to give
yourself time to settle in before the ORIENTATION
at 4:00 pm. At that time there will be short PRESENTATIONS
from all of the instructors to help you decide which class
is best for you.
All
participants are invited to the opening night burger BARBEQUE.
After dinner you will meet with your instructor for a short
INTRODUCTORY SEMINAR to get you started. Later,
we'll all meet for a brief presentation before you head off
to join one of several organized jam sessions.
MORNINGS
Every
morning you will have a 1 1/2 hour to 2/hrSEMINAR with your instructor. Late mornings will be saved for a few
special classes and time to jam or just relax.

LAB where you will receive expert coaching from instructors.
On the other hand, you may want to put on your DANCING
shoes and learn nifty moves from one of our incredible swing dance teachers.
