Class Levels
We offer various weekly and special workshop classes for dancers of all skill levels. Check out our level descriptions to find out which classes are perfect for you!
-
This level is for you if you’re just embarking on your Swing dancing journey! To get started, we’ve designed our curriculum to help you build a strong foundation. Rotating class topics are:
• A - Intro Lindy Rhythms & Moves
• B - Building on Lindy Rhythms & Moves
• C - Lindy Charleston Ideas
• D - Wild Card - Rotating Topics
Each of these classes typically run for 4 consecutive weeks starting the first week of each month. They are designed to be progressive, which means the material builds upon previous classes to encourage your growth as dancers.
All Level 1 classes can be taken and/or repeated in any order and are each required to be completed once before moving to Level 2.
-
This level is for those who have been dancing swing more consistently, but still getting the hang of things. You already know various rhythms & moves, Swingouts, and Charleston. You try to go social dancing a few times a month, if not weekly.
In Level 2 classes, we keep the topics floating to be better able to customize the material to meet the needs of our students. So we recommend joining Level 2 AFTER you complete 4 consecutive Level 1 classes and are ready for a bit more of a challenge.
Like Level 1, these classes typically run for 4 consecutive weeks starting the first week of each month
-
Geared towards dancers who have been Lindy Hopping for a while, you know how to smoothly and successfully mix rhythms and movements. In fact, you understand the concept of mixing rhythms beyond the standard rhythm structures and are comfortable adding in your own fun styling, rhythms, jazz, and Charleston. You have body awareness and value finding connection to yourself, your partner, and music.
Level 3 classes typically occur once a month by invitation.
