Next Dance: Saturday, June 20, 2026

Lesson: WCS Music Fundamentals for Dancers and Deejays
Level: All levels
Location: Ivy Creek Methodist Church, Charlottesville (674 Woodlands Rd)
Deejay: Didi Jennings
more details about this class This class will cover foundational music skills for WCS dancers to build and grow their dance. Learn how to have a fun, successful dance to music of any genre, energy level and tempo, whether it is a song you have heard 100 times or one that is brand new to you. While we believe this is foundational knowledge for all WCS dancers—and we encourage everyone to attend—current deejays and anyone interested in deejaying or building a WCS playlist will get a little bit “extra.” Didi will share her perspective as a deejay on what makes a good WCS song, how she structures a set, resources for WCS deejays, and how to discover new WCS music. NOTE: We WILL get up and dance during this class! So wear your dance shoes.
