Lindy Hop

Intermediate Level 2-3 Program

Level 2 and 3 classes are typically called "Lindy Hop 2" and "Lindy Hop 3", and usually have a theme associated with each series. Level 2 assumes you have taken 15 to 30 hours of regular instruction in Lindy Hop over the past two years (ie, completed level 1 classes). Level 3 assumes you have taken 30 to 45 hours of instruction, which may include workshops, Lindy Hop 2 classes, and instruction in other dance scenes. Especially at level 3, knowledge and enthusiasm does not necessarily equate to your skill level: Always consider taking the level 1 courses as a volunteer, and retake the level 2 classes if you are not proficient at the material!

At this level, we encourage you to begin "cross training" in related dances such as Authentic Jazz, African, Balboa, Tap, Blues, and Charleston in order to further your skills as a Lindy Hopper and Swing Dancer. Also, we want you to please study your fundamentals of Lindy Hop, such as the Swing-Out, so that you can do it well at both very fast tempos of 270 beats-per-minute and very slow tempos of 100bpm

Level 2 and 3 Topics

• Balboa
• Charleston
• California Lindy Hop
• Blues and Slow Lindy
• Authentic Jazz
• Competition and Show
• Fast Dancing and Jam Circles

The Level 2 classes typically have 2 lessons of Lindy Hop and 2 lessons of something else (such as Balboa or Charleston). The Level 3 classes are very diverse and are typically left up to the discretion of the instructors. Consider that the more your learn about Lindy Hop, you realize how HUGE and DIVERSE this dance is - we feel that a curriculum that isn't set or rigid is the better way to go.

While Level 2 classes are offered regularly, Level 3 classes are much more infrequent at this time.
