Festival
Levels
No level auditions will be performed. We will move the participants only if we believe that it will help the proper functioning of the lessons
Basal
Begginer +
You have started dancing a few months ago and you haven’t spent much time socially dancing.
You know the difference between 6 and 8 counts, Charlestone’s basic steps, but you still don’t have much confidence.
You intend to evolve your dance and learn how to communicate better with your partner, enjoy music and improvisation.
Our teachers will guide you with love during the weekend, so you have an unforgettable experience.
Montà
Intermediate
This is the level where most Hoppers, who practice Lindy as a hobby, are comfortable.
You have learned the concepts of Bounce, rhythm, you have worked the technique, connection and musicality. You know most of the basic movements (circle, promenade, tuck-turn, 6 and 8 steps, swing out, charleston) and some variations. You can easily connect the basic steps and transmit-to your partner successfully. You regularly participate in social dance of your city or surroundings. The average times are your favourites and it still costs you a bit to dance with fast or slow times.
You would like to improve your dance at any speed, dance more fluently and musical and add new movements, rhythms or styles to your dance.
Subalpí
Intermediate-Advanced
This level is for dancers who attend lessons or courses regularly or practice a little bit at home.
You have attended workshops and/or some festival/s. You are going to dance frequently and you can mix steps fluently. You are well known as Hopper and take care of your partner on the dance floor.
You feel comfortable dancing swing outs at different speeds and using more advanced movements such as Sugar Push and similar steps aren’t a mystery for you. You have also begin to understand the importance of jazz steps in your dance and dominate Shim Sham.
You want to know more rhythmic variations and develop your musicality, extend your vocabulary, learn from the history and values of Lindy, improve your improvisation and be able to express yourself in a free and personal way on the dance floor.
Alpí
Advanced
This level is for experienced dancers, who practice at home weekly and Lindy Hop is already part of their life.
You have attended workshops, some festivals &/or did some competitions. You are going to dance frequently, you can mix steps fluently and you feel comfortable at any tempo. You are capable of doing Swing Out and other steps at a very fast tempo.
Your connection is solid and you use different “stretch” techniques while dancing. You are able to enrich your dance with Solo Jazz movements when you are dancing with your couple.
You enjoy the rhythm, syncopation and musicality while you’re dancing. You can memorize new steps and routines easily like the Bigg Apple.
At this level our teachers will give their best to squeeze your qualities and to surprise you on to the wonderful world of musicality and to the free interpretation during your dance with your couple.
