CLASSES AND REGISTRATION
All levels include classes in authentic jazz/solo jazz, West African dance and house dance. Pick your level based on your level in solo jazz!
👶 Level A, as in Al Minns
The Al level is for new solo jazzers. The level is for those of you who have just now found the world of dancing and are a new member at WCJ. Welcome! Maybe you have just tried the Shim Sham or tried some solo jazz dancing in classes for Lindy Hop.
Register for Level A: https://dans.se/wcj/shop/?event=230167&info=1&p=3510
👧 Level B, as in Josephine Baker
The Baker level is for dancers who have danced some solo jazz before, either at WCJ or workshops elsewhere. You feel comfortable dancing many common jazz steps, even though you might not remember their names. You know the Shim Sham and maybe tried other famous jazz routines.

🧑 Level C, as in Dean Collins
The Collins level is for dancers with a greater experience in solo jazz dancing. You already know lots of jazz steps and can perform them with some variations. You have tried and learned many famous jazz routines. You have worked on using jazz steps in improvisation, and you use musicality in your dancing. Maybe you have already started regularly practicing solo jazz, taking workshops, choreographing a routine, performing, or competing.

👵 Level D, as in Dawn Hampton
The Dawn level is for dancers who have danced solo jazz for many years and very likely also taught it. You have choreographed routines, performed, maybe competed, and/or been to many solo jazz workshops, most probably some of them outside WCJ. You are always looking for new dance challanges and enjoy working on small technical details. You can imagine working with improvisation in front of a whole class.
