What is the
Level?
All the workshops are pitched at an Intermediate/Advanced level. Class levels are subjective and hard to describe, but here’s some ideas that might mean this is the right workshop for you:
- You have probably been dancing for a number of years and probably taken part in other workshops.
- You are a confident social dancer and happy Swinging Out to a variety of tempos up to at least 180bpm.
- You know all your 6-count, 8-count and Lindy Charleston fundamentals, and have an expanding repertoire beyond these.
- Your Swing Outs and Lindy Circles are comfortable and you already know a number of different footwork variations and styles (including swivels for followers).
- You probably also have some experience with solo jazz and you know your Shim Sham.
- Here are some examples of classic moves that you hopefully already know: Swing Out, Lindy Circle, Tuck Turn, Pass By, Send Out, Promenade, Promenot, Side-by-Side Charleston, Skip Ups, Frankie Sixes, Texas Tommy, Pop Turns, Tandem Charleston, Points, Barrel Rolls, Cuddle/Basket, Hand-to-Hand Charleston, Jig Walks, Sailor Kicks, Sugar Pushes, Minnie Dip, Switches, Quick Stop.
- We hope you are looking to challenge yourself with advanced connection, challenging moves, sweet rhythms, musicality and style.
