West Coast Swing
Workshops in Luxemburg
We’re thrilled to announce two fantastic West Coast Swing workshops happening in Luxembourg in early 2025, each led by incredible, internationally recognized instructors. Whether you're new to WCS or looking to deepen your skills, these workshops are designed to inspire and elevate your dancing. Kick off the new year with Orhiane Dang, a renowned WCS instructor known for her creative flair and unique style. Orhiane will guide you through techniques to refine your dance and help you discover new ways to express yourself on the floor. In March you can join us for an exclusive workshop led by Marine Valet, celebrated for her dynamic teaching and attention to detail. Marine’s approach is perfect for dancers looking to polish their technique and bring fresh energy into their moves.
Both events are excellent opportunities to learn from the best, meet fellow dancers, and enjoy the vibrant WCS community.
1. Workshop with Orhiane
On Saturday, January 25, 2025, we’re excited to welcome Orhiane Dang from Paris for a 3-hour workshop, followed by a party. The workshop will be held in French and in English.
With the soul of an explorer and the heart of an artist, Orhiane Dang channels her creativity through dance, illustration, and writing. In late 2011, she discovered West Coast Swing—a perfect blend of partner dancing that allowed her to combine her background in music (having studied music theory and piano at the National Conservatory), solo dance (ballet, modern jazz), and martial arts (black belt in Jujitsu). Since 2017, after training with US and French champions, she’s been joyfully and generously sharing her love for this dance, which offers endless opportunities for musical expression and a dynamic exchange of energy between partners.

The workshops on the 25th of January are designed for dancers with a prior experience in WCS.
