CLASS LEVELS
All classes are mixed levels (like a dance floor), but we’re expecting the following minimums for each class:
Lindy Hop / Solo Jazz – minimum Intermediate Advanced, confident in basic repertoire and able to adapt to different music
Shag – minimum Intermediate, confident in the basic Shag footwork, can dance full songs in Shag
Blues – no Blues Dance experience required (but expect all are confident Lindy Hop dancers & the class will progress quickly)
DJ Skills – we expect that most attendees have already DJ’d but newbies are welcome (there will be opportunities to try out your first DJ set at the festival if you’d like to)
