Beginner–Intermediate (approx. 6 months of dancing)
You’ve been dancing for at least 6 months and are getting familiar with the basic rhythms and moves of Lindy Hop. This track helps you build confidence, refine your fundamentals, and start exploring more variations in a fun, supportive environment.
Intermediate (1.5–2.5 years of dancing)
You’ve been taking regular Lindy Hop classes for more than a year and are eager to keep growing and learning more! You feel comfortable mixing different rhythms, such as groove walks, Charleston steps, kick steps, and triple steps, while maintaining a steady beat. Alternating between 6- and 8-count structures comes naturally, and you can incorporate simple swing-out variations into your dancing.
You dance with ease to mid-tempo songs and enjoy social dancing regularly. You’ve attended local workshops and possibly even an international dance event. You might also be familiar with other swing dance styles and are excited to expand your knowledge, refine your technique, and gain new inspiration for your dancing.
Intermediate Advanced (2,5-4 years of dancing)
This level is for dancers who enjoy experimenting with musicality and feel at home on the social dance floor. You’re already comfortable with faster tempos, more complex rhythms, and a wide range of figures, and you’re eager to expand your vocabulary even further.
This track will help you refine quality of movement, strengthen technique, and explore more sophisticated ideas in connection, rhythm, and improvisation.
Advanced (4 years and more of dancing)
Lindy Hop is an essential part of your life. You have been dancing at an advanced level for at least 4 years, regularly attending classes and social dances, often participating in national or international workshops and festivals, and even competing. You may even teach locally. With a strong foundation in swing dancing, you quickly pick up and integrate new steps and variations.
Your repertoire of figures and variations is extensive, but you are always eager for new challenges. You feel comfortable dancing to any tempo, including faster tempos, and can adapt seamlessly while maintaining balance, timing, and a strong connection with your partner. You understand that quality of movement is more important than the number of figures. You’re here to develop greater musicality, refine your improvisation, and elevate your technique to its highest expression.
