Level 2 |
You have been dancing for about 1.5 to 2 years, are frequently attending local events, and might have visited a few festivals. You are starting to think about your dances further than just moves. Themes like musicality, flow etc. are things you are now focusing on! You've probably attended a festival already, but maybe not that many yet. |

Level 3 |
Dancing for 2+ years, dancing has become a big part of your life. You are on the social dance floor regularly and went to a few Lindy Hop festivals. Slow and medium tempo feel comfortable, and you like to even try dancing to faster ones. A decent number of figures (both basic & more complex) are familiar to you. You’re exploring styling rhythm, connection, and musicality |

Intermediate |
You are no longer an absolute beginner and you start feeling comfortable on the social dance floor dancing solo. You might even have had one or two solo jazz courses before and/or know of the traditional routines such as the tranky doo etc. In this level you will learn variations on the vernacular jazz steps and open doors to improvisation on the dance floor. |
