Intermediate

You’ve been taking regular Lindy Hop classes for at least a year and are enthusiastic about learning more! You feel comfortable mixing basic rhythms, such as groove walks, charleston steps, triple steps etc., and can incorporate a few swing-out variations to your dancing. You alternate structures of 6 and 8 counts fluently and have integrated them in your social dancing. You dance to different mid tempos with ease. You would like to improve your dance vocabulary and connection with your partner, but still feel the need to improve your overall dancing technique. In addition, you know some basic solo jazz rhythms and steps.

Intermediate/Advanced

You are able to connect with various dance partners and adapt your dancing to fit each individual dancer. You may be familiar with other styles of swing dancing (such as Balboa, Blues or Shag), and you’d love to get some new ideas on how you can expand your dancing knowledge and experience. You know a wide variety of solo jazz steps and enjoy exploring your own personal body movement.
