It's important to know that although Lindy Hop is a partner dance, you don't have to bring your own partner. We will focus on the finer aspects of dancing to further strengthen your fundamentals. The lessons typically focus on what you can do with all the Lindy Hop knowledge you already have, like changing rhythms to fit the music or doing double turns instead of single turns. Dancers at this level should have no problem dancing to very slow and very fast music and we go through new material faster than at the other levels. Level 3 The highest level is meant to challenge even the best dancers at Swing Out Loud. This level is focussed on making you a good social dancer, so you can dance with anyone at a party. You will expand your vocabulary of moves, learn to play with musicality and partner interaction. We will build on your Lindy Hop foundation techniques and improve them. If you know the basics by heart and are thirsty for more than you belong here. Level 2 This level is for the majority of the dancers.
