It can be a little confusing to know what level you should get in, or what the correct route is to follow. If you’re new to dancing or Swing dancing, it’s always best to start at Beginner level (Lindy 1A). But if you come from another scene with a different leveling system you should probably come to one of our socials and do a small audition.
Lindy Hop is structured into several levels. Beginners should start with Lindy 1A, followed by 1B and 1C, in that specific order. These classes focus on the fundamentals and follow a core curriculum. Typically, completing a level grants you automatic access to the next. However, you might be advised to repeat a level if you missed many classes or need to strengthen your technical skills. After completing all three introductory levels in sequence, you can progress to Lindy 2.
Every Lindy 2 block covers a variety of topics, ensuring each block of classes is unique. This level is essential for building your skills, training your creativity, and expanding your repertoire. You will be given more moves to play with and combine.
It is typically recommended to spend at least a year in Lindy 2 (3 blocks of classes), but your teachers will monitor your progress and check if you are ready to move on to Lindy 3.
Similar to Lindy 2, Lindy 3 is also different every block. In Lindy 3 we’re going deeper into the basics. You know so many moves, but now we’re breaking them down so you can build them back up so you truly understand what makes them work.
Lindy 4 is our highest Lindy level and can only be achieved by passing a level check. For this level you need dedication and passion, and you shouldn’t be afraid to really go into the nitty gritty of your own techniques. In Lindy 3 we break down moves, but in Lindy 4 we will break down your technique and help you build it up again.
