Rachel and Joshua are offering a 1.5-hour workshop to learn a WCS choreography on Saturday morning from 11:15 am to 12:45 pm. This is an opportunity to perfect your dancing, improve the quality of your performances, and take on a fun creative challenge. It's an intensive course that's not to be missed.
You need to have your own partner to register ! Partners will not be rotated during the intensive.
This intensive workshop is separate from the usual passes, so you can register even if you don't have a pass. To do so, simply follow the link below and select the “Choreo Intensive” option.

How to get to the event ?
To make it easy for everyone to join Bretzel Swing, we’ve organised several convenient travel options.
If you’re coming by car, free parking is available directly at the venue.
If you arrive at Strasbourg main station or via the Lufthansa connecting bus (code XER), you can take a regional train to Entzheim Airport station (around 8 minutes). From there, our shuttle service will take you to the BnB Hotel Holzheim and the venue.
If you arrive at Entzheim airport, you can use the footbridge to get to the Entzheim Airport stop and take our shuttle bus.
We ask for a contribution of €10 per person for the weekend to help cover the cost of the shuttle. You can reserve your shuttle pass by selecting the “Shuttle” option via the link below.
Jack'n'Jills (not WSDC)
All full pass holders will be able to take part in our Jack'n'Jill competitions (non WSDC) and try their luck at winning prizes. What's more, every winning couple from our divisions will have the opportunity to take part in the Pro-Winners JnJ, held on Saturday to dance with our professionals.
With three divisions, we've sought to be as fair as possible and offer the best experience for everyone. If you've never competed before, now is the perfect time to get started.
To facilitate the organization of the competition and reduce your participation costs, you can pre-register. You may register for one division per role. If you wish to participate in two divisions, you must pre-register twice, once for each role.
You will have until Saturday September 5, 1:30 pm, to pick up your Bib number.
