Mario Robau WCS Intensive
November 10 - 12, 2011 at the Tampa Bay Classic



Former students have said:

"Mario is without peer as a teacher, historian, and great
ambassador for West Coast Swing. "

"Your presentation of west coast swing is the most user friendly approach to the dynamics of the dance that I have EVER seen, bar none.
You have started a revolution that needed to be ignited in the WCS world."

"You are unlikely to ever find such profound information about the dance expressed in a way that is easy to understand. Leaders and followers both get invaluable information to improve their dancing. The thought, "Why hasn't anyone ever told me this before?" occurred to me over and over throughout the weekend as hour after hour was packed with information that completely revolutionized the way I view the dance."

What is an Intensive?

  Learn how to progress from just repeating moves and patterns, to actually dancing. Learn the fine points of leading, following, syncopations, pattern selection, connection, musical Interpretation, music theory, music interpretation and other techniques that will separate you from the majority of dancers on the dance floor.

      These three-day seminars are complete with hand-outs, video evaluation, and practical applications covering advanced topics in depth.

This weekend is for Men, Ladies, social dancers, competitors and teachers!!!!

"While the dance has an immeasurable number of variations, the fundamental forms of the dance define whether or not the correct dance is being executed. It is from these fundamental forms that variations in movement and execution are derived. Common rules such as starting everything with two walking steps, ending everything with an Anchor triple, and remaining in slot become merely guidelines once attaining higher levels of excellence. However, it is these fundamental forms, and their abundance during a given dance, that allow the dance to be correctly defined. Too much variation or straying prevents the dance form being correctly identified and leads to a majority of the problems seen in today's dance circuit."
