the levels

Be fair in choosing your level of practice; no need to challenge yourself by going to a level that is too high. The objective of a course is to fully enjoy the content and the transmission offered! Upgrading is the best way to miss… the point.

Finally, please note that the international teachers will deliver the courses in English.

Lindy Hop – Levels

Initiation

Lindy Hop

You have never danced Lindy Hop and Charleston as a couple or you have only taken a few introductory or trial classes a long time ago. You are attracted by these dances but wish to try a class before committing to a regular class. This initiation is a great opportunity to discover or renew with swing dances.

Lindy Hop Beginner +

You’re not a real beginner because you’ve already taken one or two years of regular classes, but you don’t practice much. You’ve heard of long and short variations (8 beats / 6 beats), and learned the basic variations of the Lindy Hop (swing out, circle, tuck turn, etc.) and the Charleston (tandem, hand to hand, etc.), but their assimilation is still fragile. If you’re really interested in Lindy Hop and want to consolidate what you’ve learned, this is the right course for you! Assimilation

Lindy Hop Inter

You have already taken 3 years of regular classes and you practice socially during evenings or practices on medium tempo. You’d like to improve your dancing by working on basic technical elements (connection, stretch, rhythm…) and learn new variations. The desire to improve has taken hold of you, this level is made for you and will feed your desire to do better. Improvement

Lindy Hop Inter +

For the past 4 years you have been dancing very regularly in classes and at parties, you are addicted to dance and it is part of your life! You like to get into the details to feel more at ease with both slow and fast tempos. To feed your passion, you test different courses and participate in festivals or workshops! You expect to work on new variations, footwork and technical points that will enrich your dance. Complexification

Lindy Hop Advanced +

This course with international teachers is designed to feed your passion and your desire to perform. You have a solid experience of Lindy Hop through many years of practice and/or have treaded the floors of numerous festivals or schools. You are used to questioning your technique and your dance. You’ll pick up new variations quickly and easily, and work on your musicality. You know your strengths and weaknesses and aren’t afraid to work or train to overcome them. Expression

Solo Jazz – Levels

Solo Jazz Initiation

As the title suggests, this class is for jazz beginners and doesn’t require a partner, as it’s solo dancing! Anyone can sign up. Swing and Charleston music make you want to dance, jump and swing… this initiation is for you! You’ll learn your first basic jazz and Charleston moves and a little choreography.

Solo Jazz Beginner+ / Inter

As soon as you hear swing music, you want to dance, whether alone or as a couple! If you already dance (solo or partner, swing or other) and would like to discover new movements and expand your dance vocabulary. This enrichment will enable you to dance alone and with others!

Solo Jazz Inter+ / Advanced

You have a regular practice of fundamental jazz. You’re comfortable with a wide range of jazz steps (Tack Annie, Apple Jacks, Fall-off-the-Log, Half-break, Full break…) and can pick up choreography fairly quickly. You’ve begun to explore more complex rhythms and combinations, and you’re starting to put your own style into the dance. You’ve come to the right place!

In order to offer quality courses, we pay particular attention to ensuring that the levels of practice are homogeneous. The direction of the festival keeps a right of inspection on the adequacy between the level of practice of the trainees and the level of the courses expected. We reserve the right to reposition trainees in practice levels that we feel are more appropriate. This approach is organized in the interest of all and in a good mood. We thank you now for your understanding.
