"A West Coast Swing Experience"

TAP has over 40 workshops taught by a mix of top US and International Pros. We feature a mix of Leveled WCS classes and Solo Dance Training in movement like Ballet, Hip-Hop, Jazz, Contemporary, Yoga, and Stretch to help further develop your overall dance ability. Every evening we set the stage for some of the best dancers in the world to cre

ate art-in-motion during improv shows and competitions to inspire us all! Then the lights go down and some of the best West Coast Swing DJs in the world host dancing till the wee hours of the morning! Keep an eye or ear our for pop-up live music acts who mix in with the DJs throughout the night! The After Party is famous for the incredibly high level of social dancing, the warm accepting energy, and a loving vibe that we cherish above all things. We are a family of dancers who come together to be creative, to elevate each other, to be inspired be each other, to move, to sweat, to learn.

It's Time to Get Excited!!!

One of our very favorite things each year is launching our Workshop Line Up! This is going to be an epic year!

We're so proud that we get to colab with all of these top level teachers to put on what we like to call... the Westie Urban Dance Camp! Over 50 Workshops... all included with your pass!

Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with how we operate @ TAP. How we level classes, what it means to 'experience' a class vs. 'take' the class, what the Deep Dive Classes are, and which classes are 'closed door' classes.

Get ready to WORK HARD! x Meech n Chuck!

TAP 2025 Allstar Critique Sessions!

Taking Applications now! Read more and apply here:

https://tapwcs.com/things-to-know-tap/all-star-critique-sessions/

- Must have at least 1 All-Star point.
- Sign up with a partner.
- These are 'Closed' Sessions

We like to ensure those who are being critiqued in class feel comfortable. To help try to create a warm, productive and inclusive atmosphere, we believe it's better for these sessions to be limited to those who are all being put in the same vulnerable position, of being critiqued. Thank you for your understanding :)

Hi TAP Family,

Wow. You blew us away today! Literally and figuratively! The demand for The After Party (TAP) tickets was so intense that our registration system completely crashed during the release.

First, we want to say THANK YOU for showing up with so much energy and excitement. The love for TAP means the world to us. Second, we want you to know — we’re right here in the trenches, digging through all potential registration issues and the coinciding potential payment issues with PayPal that the server crashing might have caused. We’re working as fast as we can to get everything sorted.

We know that the server crashing caused more stress than ideal — and we’re truly sorry for the extra chaos!. Please bear with us as we work through getting everyone sorted! We promise to do our best to answer all your emails as quickly as possible!
Thank you again for your patience, kindness, and community spirit. You are what makes TAP special, and we can’t wait to dance with all of you this year.

A couple pointers to keep in mind:
- We SOLD OUT of almost all buckets, we have a couple Allstar and International Passes
- We will email the Hotel Registration Link to all those who have registered.

With gratitude 💙,

Chuck & Meech
