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.
Each of our students spend a different amount of time in Lindy 2, 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. This is the class for our advanced dancers! You know so many moves, but now we’re breaking them down and building them up again so you truly understand what makes them work. In this class you’ll explore new rhythm and footwork variations to give your dancing some extra shine.
Lindy 4 is for our most dedicated and passionate advanced dancers. Are you willing to put extra time and effort into perfecting your dancing? Do you want to dig deep and explore the tiniest details of your dancing? Are you ready for some extra challenging moves? Then this is the class for you. If you haven’t done any Lindy 4 lessons yet, reach out to our registration team to organize a level check for you.
Are you new to this dance style? Or maybe you would like to strengthen a specific skill? Then this level is the one for you. Here we are focusing on the basics of a specific dance style. Our seasoned instructors will ensure you get a solid foundation for an enjoyable dance experience. You can learn from the ground up, or you can work on different aspects of your dancing. Complete these lessons multiple times, as there is variation in every block. But you can return to this level whenever you feel like (even after completing multiple build up lessons) to work on your foundations. Feel free to reach out to your teachers about the areas/techniques you would like extra feedback on.
Elevate your skills in our build-up class, where you’ll explore deeper aspects of your dancing. Refine your technique, learn advanced moves, and grow as a dancer. Get ready to expand your repertoire and enhance your dance experience with the energy of swing!
Join this level when you feel like you have a solid base and you are familiar with a number of core shapes and movements. Come and challenge your rhythm and technique.
If you are not sure this level is right for you, reach out to our registration team for a level check with one of our teachers.
Please keep in mind that we don’t always offer every level of each of these dance styles every block and it’s always a good idea to ask your teacher if they think you can make it to the next level or if you have to redo your current one.
