We are excited to offer a Teacher Training with Robert Royston at Arctic Westie Fest, focused on teaching dance in general and West Coast Swing specifically. This training is designed to help instructors build strong, effective, and sustainable teaching skills.
This Level 1 training covers the fundamentals of how to set up a class, how to teach adults effectively, and how to introduce and apply the core concepts of Robert's Shared Center System in a clear and accessible way.
Known as a champion teacher with a deep focus on movement aligned with human biomechanics, Robert offers practical tools for class structure, communication, and demonstration—grounded in principles that make movement easier to understand and teach.
This training is suitable for current and aspiring instructors, as well as dancers who want a deeper understanding of how West Coast Swing is taught and learned.
Go beyond patterns and technique to explore what truly defines quality of movement in West Coast Swing. In this special Technique Intensive, Robert Royston breaks down how body control, timing, elasticity, and connection elevate your dance, helping you move with greater precision, confidence, and musicality.
Known as a champion teacher and one of the leading minds in West Coast Swing education, Robert is constantly exploring the cutting edge of movement, refining technique that is deeply aligned with human biomechanics. His teaching focuses on how the body actually works, giving dancers tools that are clear, transferable, and sustainable.
The intensive is built around his Shared Center System, a biomechanical approach that creates stronger connection, better balance, and more efficient movement—both socially and competitively.
This is an all-level workshop, suitable for dancers who know the basic patterns of West Coast Swing and want to refine their movement and bring more confidence and presence to their dancing.
