LINDY HOP

BEGINNER (BEGINNER TRACK)

The swing out? What’s a swing out? It’s a cool name, but I’ve no idea what it refers to.`

BEGINNER – INTERMEDIATE

The swing out? Yes, I did learn the swing out. It’s been a few months, or maybe even a year. I love doing swing outs during parties. But it can be challenging when the tempo goes up.`

INTERMEDIATE

The swing out? Yes, I know pretty well what that is. I’ve been practicing it for more than a year now. It’s a really cool step. I know some variations thereof which I particularly enjoy: they allow me to adapt my dancing to the feelings the music makes me feel.

INTERMEDIATE-ADVANCED

The swing-out? O yes, that is a fascinating step indeed! It’s been more than two years now that it was first introduced to me, and I’m still discovering new ways to play with it, new ways to bent it and twist it.

ADVANCED

The swing out? That’s food for my soul. I need some almost every day. Actually, I can’t remember when was the last time I’ve spent a whole week without swinging out. For me, lindy hop is more than a simple hobby: it’s been a passion for a long time now, and I’m constantly trying to widen my swinging horizon, to discover new playgrounds, and new ways to express myself.

SOLO JAZZ

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: if you register with a Full Pass, your Solo Jazz group will be determined by the choice of your Lindy Hop group, according to the following rule:

BEGINNER-INTERMEDIATE & INTERMEDIATE –>RELAX

INTERMEDIATE-ADVANCED & ADVANCED –> CHALLENGE

RELAX

You are looking for a relaxed exploration, that softly pushes you a little bit further. Or: dancing solo is rather new to you 🙂

This isn’t a initiation. It is a class with a slow-paced rhythm, for those who like to, or need to, take time to move forward.

Full Pass holders registered in the beginner-intermediate or intermediate Lindy Hop groups join this Solo Jazz group.

CHALLENGE

You want your limits to be shown to you, so that you can jump over them. You like feeling a bit lost during classes, and having to struggle to follow. Or: you practice solo dancing often, you find yourself in it; it makes you blossom.

Full Pass holders who register in the intermediate-advanced or advanced Lindy Hop groups join this Solo Jazz group.
