FAQ

Is Level 1 a course?  Do I need to come each week?

The Level 1 syllabus covers 5 weeks of material but it doesn’t matter when you start, imagine it as a course that starts whenever you do.  It’s best to come every week as there’s new moves and material each time.  Once you’ve done your 5 weeks in Level 1 it’s time to move up to Level 2.

No but really…do you run courses?

No, we don’t run courses at all.  Level 1 is a drop in class format and you can start whenever you like.

What should I bring?

Drink bottle, casual clothes, flat soled shoes…smile.

Do I need to book?

Not at all, you can simply turn up to your first class.

Do I need a partner?

No, we rotate partners in the class so you don’t need to bring a partner but we know it won’t take long before you’re bringing your friends!

I’ve done other dance styles before, can I skip Level 1?

Unless you’ve had experience with Lindy Hop before you can’t. As dance professionals ourselves we strongly believe in learning a new dance from its foundation. Every dance is uniquely different and never more so than in the foundation and basic structure of the dance. We also teach basic moves like the Swing Out that are a requirement for moving into Level 2, without these you’re unable to attend that level.

How long do I stay in Level 1?

The Level 1 syllabus covers, roughly, 5 weeks of material. We continually cycle through all the moves and rhythms you need to know at this level so it doesn’t matter when you start. After 5 weeks you’ll want to be thinking of moving up or at least doing Level 1 & 2 together.

Note: Classes are only open to those aged 13yrs and above.
