Classes
LINDY HOP
Beginner/Intermediate
This is not a beginners class. You 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.

The Top
The best of the best! You can not ask for this level, sign up in advanced and you have the chance to get in to The Top during the Audition for Advanced lindy hop.

Show & Performance
The focus will be on show and performance, but the class is also perfect for those that compete or want to compete. You will be working on challenging steps, stage presentation, choreography, and presence. You have to be at least intermediate-advanced level to sign up for this class. You will meet most of the instructors, and you have to sign up together with a partner.

BALBOA

Balboa will have three levels, intermediate/advanced and advanced that will be split into two advanced classes, to make these three levels as good as possible for everyone, there will be an audition.

Intermediate/Advanced
You are regularly taking classes and attend balboa workshops when ever you can. You want to brush up your basic movements, learn more interesting figures, footwork variations and styling as well as making your dancing more musical.

Advanced
Same as the above description but you already have an idea about your own styling. And you practice balboa regularly, not only in class environment but also by yourself. You like challenges like competitions and to teach other people this dance. To be in this level you will have to pass the audition.
