LINDY HOP
Beginner/Intermediate
This is not a beginners class. You have have to know the basics as in lindy swing out, lindy circle, side by side charleston and a few patterns.

Intermediate
You have been dancing for at least a year, actively social dancing, and you have probably heard of terms like connection, musicality and improvisation. In this level your skills in improvisation, movement, musicality will improve.

Intermediate/Advanced
You have been dancing for a couple of years and are confident and solid in the dance and ready for more. A lot of new material to expand and improve your dictionary of moves and technique.

Advanced
Stuff starts to get really hard in this level. Patterns, figures and dance technique will be presented in a more challenging way. Here the teaching pace will be quicker and classes will cover all tempos. A very intense and exciting level if you are ready for it! To be in this level you will have to pass the audition. That means also to be ready to be put down.

Show & Performance
During these days the teachers will focus on techniques, choreographies and figures suited for show, competition and performance.
You have to be at advanced level to sign up for this class.
In this level you will meet some of the instructors, and you have to sign up together with a partner.
