Levels & Schedule
There are two different streams at SSF08:
Swing – Level 1 – Beginner/Intermediate
You know the basics of Charleston and 6 beat and have started dancing the 8 beat Lindy. You are able to transition between Charleston, 6 beat and 8 beat comfortably and are beginning to edge your way towards the social floor.
Swing – Level 2 – Intermediate/Advanced
This is for the most experienced dancers at SSF. You have been dancing for a couple of years and know the basics of Charleston, 6 beat and the 8 beat Lindy basic like the back of your hand. You are able to transition between 6 beat and 8 beat and are dancing on the social floor regularly. You are starting to think less about steps and are prepared to start experimenting to find your own personal style.
You don’t need to worry about which stream to enter as allocation will happen at the first class on the weekend. However if you know that you would like to be in Swing Level 1, please make sure to let us know when you register. This will allow each dancer to maximise their learning and avoid the situation of inexperienced dancers holding the other dancers in the stream back!
