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 out… on the essentials.
Finally, please note that the international teachers will deliver the courses in English.

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.
