TIPDI Workshops and Camp Series Through the Years
The first two years of TIPDI's full-scale, long-weekend Dance Camp rocked, and we thoroughly enjoyed the awesome dancers who made TIPDI such a joy to produce!
For TIPDI 2015 through 2018, we offered a series of workshops, featuring our amazing staff, as well as some special guests! TIPDI 2019 saw TIPDI Directors, Paula and Ken, touring to teach themselves in both the US and Europe. In 2020, we are excited to be launching our first TIPDI event overseas - Contempo-Collab! Check out all of our events below.
Space in every workshop is limited.

Come learn Tango in this specially crafted crash course for WCS dancers. Paula taught Argentine Tango internationally for 12 years, and now teaches WCS as well — the perfect person for this course.
