Lindy Hop Sympathizer

You have been taking Lindy Hop classes for about year or 2 full courses/blocks (locally) and you go to social dances on a regular basis. You are able to dance basic 6- and 8-count figures, lindy charleston, swing out and variations of the basics.

Comparison local levels:

• That Swing Thursday’s class: roughly 8-12 months of classes minimum
• Erlangen KHG: You’ve finished both beginner’s blocks A+B or you are already at Level 2 (intermediate)

Lindy Hop Enthusiast

You’ve been dancing for at least 3 years or, if less, very intensively (3 times a week or more). You have attended several (international) workshops. You go to social dances regularly and feel confident with your dancing no matter to what tempo or with what partner you dance. You have a good connection and can lead or follow more complex patterns without thinking about the basics. You want to dive deeper into styling, musicality and tempo.

Comparison local levels:

• BWC Monday’s training min. requirement: you dance at the intermediate level for at least 1 year
• That Swing Thursday’s class: intermediate level (level 2)
• That Swing Sunday’s Level 3
• Erlangen KHG: Levels 2 and 3

Lindy Hop Addict

In this class we want to train our local teachers, the show group and the advanced dancers. If you are not a local dancer, please send us a short email telling us about your dance experience and skills so we can invite you to this level.
Requirements: You’ve been dancing a lot and probably already for a while and you have built up a lot of experience. You have attended many (international) workshops. You go to social dances regularly and feel safe with your dancing, no matter to what tempo or with what partner you dance. You are ready to go back working on your basics. You have no trouble comprehending and copying figures, styles, rhythms that you see. You might even be a teacher at your local scene.

Comparison local levels: Teacher, Show group, advanced group

Solo Jazz Curious

You had a few opportunities to dance Solo Jazz already for example in class or workshop warm up. Maybe you know how to dance the shim sham or another routine, or you have had a few solo jazz classes before. You can join this level if you’ve never danced Solo Jazz before but have some general knowledge from other swing dance classes that you attended.

Solo Jazz Confident

You’ve already made experiences with Solo Jazz workshops or classes. You can dance the Shim Sham and some other Routines. You can solo dance to a greater range of tempos, including faster ones. You can quickly grasp and adapt rhythms and styles that you see and therefore follow a faster teaching tempo in class. You want to improve your technical solo dancing skills and learn new patterns to spice up your dancing.
