Social dancing or comps?
Yes, we do run WSDC comps... But, only on Saturday! The rest of the weekend we focus more on the social aspect of West Coast Swing and having a good time. Dance, learn, party, etc.
Levels and auditions?
We support individual choice through self awareness and won't have any auditions. The majority of workshops are leveled to the WSDC divisions while some are open for everyone.
Solo class initiative
Every year at UTS we will be bringing a few more solo classes for inspiration and growth, not to mention our Solo Movement Challenge that you don't want to miss out on.
Who we are?
UpTown Swing is arguably one of the most social events, with no competitions on Friday. Instead we put our heart and soul into an immersive hang out experience with a meet and greet, fun activities and our short song social, where the switching of partners goes faster, thus giving you more dances with more people than on a regular evening. Add to that our 7 official WSDC competitions and last but not least our popular Solo Movement Challenge where you get to learn a solo dance routine, practice and then perform it with your pros on Sunday night! A weekend packed with goodies for all types of dancers to participate in. Social, workshops, comps, solo dancing and performing!
Welcome to UpTown Swing!
