Levels

We prefer this year to offer a different ways of forming balanced classes, more based on your choice; so there will not be audition before the workshop, classes will be formed according to your registration.
It's up to the teachers to move some of you to a different level during the first classes in order to create a comfortable learning experience for everybody.
So, please, read the descriptions of each level carefully and pick the classes that best matches your own skills.

Lindy Hop ADV Plus

If it seems to you that you’ve been dancing Lindy Hop since you were born, this is your track! Dancers at this level should have a large vocabulary of moves and should be working on how to combine the moves they already know to fit the music and personalize their style. For an advanced class you need to be dancing on a high level for a long time or have joined several competitions, you are able to quickly master new steps and variations, because you already draw on a big repertoire of figures and variations, but you are always up for new challenges. Your goal in this festival is to play with the quality of your movements, improve your improvisational skills, use different levels of musicality, and bring your leading or following to a new level.

Lindy Hop Master

This is an intense track for teachers and super advanced dancers

You can join the Master level if you are a very well-experienced Lindy hopper, if you are a key dancer in your local Swing scene and maybe you teach Lindy Hop classes regularly.
