Level Descriptions
How do you know what level classes to take? Simple- take a look here!
Novice - Novice classes are for anyone with 0-8 hours of lessons in a particular dance. So whether you're walking in off the street, or continuing to perfect the basics, this is the level for you! We'll cover the fundamentals of leading following, plus the moves you need to know to get started.
Beginner IA and IB - IA and IB are to take you from a novice to a true beginner dancer. The two series will cover different material, and you may take either one first. Please note that you must take both IA and IB of a particular dance before you may move up to level II classes in that dance.
Beginner II - After you have taken both IA and IB of a particular dance, you can move up to level II whenever you're ready. We'll start to explore some of the improvisational aspects of the dance, and just what makes that dance rock so very hard.
Intermediate - After you've taken level II at least once, Intermediate is the place to go, with styling, rhythm, and fancy moves- plus, of course, continuing to polish the technique that'll make you oh-so-fun to dance with!
Note: For any dance, you start at novice, and progress from there. For example, you might be an advanced lindy hop dancer, but until you've taken at least 10 hours of class in blues, you'd want to take novice-level blues classes. If you're unsure, always choose the lower level- you can polish the basics, and you won't have to worry about not getting your money's worth by being too far behind.
