This stream is all about developing your connection and partner dance skills, as well as broadening your swing dance repertoire!
You are no longer a beginner dancer - you regularly attend weekly classes and have begun your social dancing journey. You have been to enough classes to have a dance and a good time, but you know there are still a lot of things about social dancing that evade you. Plus there are moves and steps that you know you definitely need to work on.
You are familiar with different types of Charleston, 8 and 6 count Lindy Hop, and have started to transition between them. You can swing out when a teacher asks you to, though you recognise there is still plenty to learn to make this core move feel great.
Sold out
This stream is for dancers who have developed some self awareness of their own dancing and are looking to add more variety, depth and finesse.
You may have performed or competed once or twice, and have started exploring more complex solo jazz routines. You feel comfortable with different tempos, rhythms and variations, but recognise you’ve got more to learn. This stream is all about developing the technical aspects of your dancing: improving connection with your partner, responding to the music, holding your own rhythm and refining your body movement.
You are at the stage where you can recognise the strengths and weaknesses in your own dancing, and are motivated to work on these inside and outside of classes.
