What's so special about the RTSF Dance Camp?
A unique aspect of the Rock That Swing Festival is the free choice of classes. Each class has a special theme or topic. This system has a lot of benefits and therefore allows you to create your own personal schedule. But it also means that without a fixed and binding class registration we can’t guarantee a balance between leaders and followers or limit the class size. At every survey in the past years the participants preferred with an overwhelming majority those benefits.
When you sign up for the Dance Camp you will be asked what classes you are planning to take, so we can assign the rooms adequately. This selection is without obligation. You still can choose the classes at the camp respecting the level of your dance skills.
