Westie Vacay
Vacations for West Coast Swing Dancers
Step outside the WCS Dance Event Hotel and explore the beauty around you!
How many times have you visited a city or state or country and never left the event hotel?
I’m as guilty as the rest of you! There are so many great workshops and shows and comps and hanging with friends during the weekend. How can you find time to explore this place you have flown to?
My solution is to come early or stay late! Obviously we can’t take the time off to explore every location we fly to for a dance event, but what if everything was planned out for you in an amazing destination and all you had to do was show up and enjoy?
As a Westie who owns a Travel Agency, I am putting together some trips in amazing places so that you can incorporate your next vacation into a WCS event.

(If you have a group of 10 or more with ideas for a Westie Vacay, I can set it up for you!)
Bonnie Scotland Adventure January 18-26, 2026
Join me for a beautifully crafted Scottish escape designed around the Swing Resolution West Coast Swing Dance Event in Edinburgh.
This experience blends culture, history, and unforgettable landscapes before the music even begins. You’ll explore Edinburgh’s storybook streets, wander ancient castles, savor cozy pubs and local flavors, then journey into the Highlands to discover legendary lochs, dramatic scenery, and historic towns.
From Outlander filming locations to guided city walks and optional whisky tastings or nightlife, this trip is thoughtfully designed for travelers who want more than just a dance weekend, they want a meaningful experience in one of the world’s most captivating countries.
Cape Town Splendor September 11-16, 2026

You’ll explore Table Mountain, stroll through vibrant neighborhoods, greet the famous African penguins at Boulders Beach, sip local vintages in the Cape Winelands, and enjoy a sunset sail with panoramic views. Along the way, we’ll connect with Cape Town’s welcoming West Coast Swing community and experience the rhythm, flavor, and beauty that make this city so unforgettable.
