This level is for dancers with one or more years of experience.

Through new variations and a fresh look at classical movements, the aim is to reinforce your ease in social dancing, while enriching your vocabulary and musicality.

Level 3
This level is for experienced dancers with at least 4 years of regular practice. Forget classical formats : here, variations, complex rhythms and demanding combinations will push your technical and musical limits. You're comfortable on every tempos, from the slowest to the fastest, and are looking for a real challenge to match your advanced practice and weekly commitment.
Rhythm & Blues
Included in every Lindy Hop level, this module offers an exploration of Rhythm & Blues, a dance born at the crossroads of the 40s and 50s 40-50, heir to Lindy Hop and precursor of Rock'n'Roll.
