LINDY HOP LEVELS

INTERMEDIATE 

You feel comfortable with basic 8 and 6 count figures such as swingout, tuck turn, circle and some basic charleston figures.
You social dance regularly.

INTERMEDIATE ADVANCED

You regularly attend social dances. Your basics are rock solid and your package of moves is expanding. You know both 6 and 8 count moves and use them interchangeably while social dancing. You feel comfortable doing a swingout at 150 bpm. You have started to learn and explore more complex elements of swing dancing, such as connection, musicality and variations. Dancing on a medium tempo song goes really well and relaxed.

ADVANCED

You’re an active social dancer. You have attended quite a few international workshops. You are confident in leading/following which makes it possible to add styling and variations. Dancing on faster music is still challenging for you. Next to focusing on rhythm and technique you’ll also find yourself dancing to a wider range of tempos in these classes. You always want to challenge yourself.

ADVANCED PLUS

You love social dancing. You have attended numerous international workshops. You know a big variety of figures and the technique behind them. Styling your moves has become your second nature and you are rhythmical and musical.
You can easily dance to fast music (200 bpm).
You may even be part of a performance group and you’re probably competing in Mix & Match and/or Strictly competitions.

PRO – COMP & SHOW

You have read all of the above levels and still think you can go higher? You and have participated in numerous international festivals in the highest level. Dancing to very slow and very fast music (220+ bpm) doesn’t make you give up your rhythmical variations and musicality. You’re working on tiny details to improve your dancing. You’re probably teaching Lindy Hop and have entered several international competitions.
*Please note that this level requires a video audition.

For this program you have to sign up together with a partner and no partner rotation will be performed during the classes.
