LEVELS:
Intermediate You’ve got the core basics under your belt such as The Swing Out, Lindy Turn, Lindy Circle & Charleston and you are confident social dancing these regularly. It’s time to have some fun taking your dancing to the next level!
Intermediate/Advanced You have been regularly taking classes and workshops, perhaps at dance camps and you feel comfortable social dancing. As well as core Lindy Hop, you have some experience of solo Jazz and are ready to up your game in technique & styling!
Advanced: As the highest level in the camp, you’ll likely have years experience of taking or teaching workshops internationally, able to pick up quickly with a good understanding of lead/follow techniques and easily integrate jazz into any move.
NB: Those who have booked for the advanced level may need to audition on Friday evening to confirm a place in this level.
